Bud > Bud, Since I have been in GSD's I have always found you to be a friendly, knowledgable person and a gentleman as well. I hope you will always continue to share your expertise. The problem you see in some of the newbies is not just an attitude involving the dog world. It is the "new" generation. I see the same attitude in my job. But, it doesn't mean they don't learn something, even if they won't admit it. I must be getting old too because I share your philosophy. (Not that you're old : ) There are always things to learn and one of the reasons I am on this list is to learn as much as I can. And to share what I have learned with others. Hey, isn't it time to talk about the Standard and structure and movement again?
