again, theresa, DO YOUR HOMEWORK. almost all the dogs went back to bernd, axel etc. - especially through lance. many of use brought those same bloodlines forward and there are people doing breedings today with frozen semen that bring those lines back to the front. when you've "done it," been in the trenches, developed a line of dogs as so many breeders have, THEN come and tell us all how we've destroyed the breed. until then, i, after many decades in the breed, still take advice only from those who have something to teach me. unfortunately, you are not among that group. diane =================================================== theresa wrote: Great GSD but Covy-Tucker Hill's Don Quixote July 13 1979 He had several crosses back to the German GSD V, CH.
