Pretty? I think not. Syd > But go back to the '60s and you'll see a different picture. Take a look at the Doppelt Tay J litter dogs, and their progeny, like the Sweet D of Friendshipe litter. Or try the Falko kids - the "A" litter von Cellershloss for example, or so many from Covy Tucker Hill. These are the ones I remember - extremely good looking dogs and bitches, beautiful side gaits, clean coming and going. And there were many crosses of German imports to American lines. I wonder what happened in the '70s to change all of that? Or should I guess? Elaine ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
