This "snap" as I call it, is becoming so common it is now acceptable and not noticed. It's as if the foot cannot bear the weight of the dog as it passes it's body weight over the front weight bearing foot and it literally SNAPS UP instead of having the same precision long, low, follow through that most know the rear should have. LONG LOW FOLLOW THROUGH IS AS IMPORTANT AS FRONT EXTENSION AND REAR DRIVE!!

Remembering, this is where I repeat year after year, that 7 years ago I learned all about Quatricide, Dr. Bonner's Castile Soap, That great stuff that is used in horse's stall to freshen and absorb (early senility here on the name), the difference between pine and cedar shavings, shredded paper vs layered paper (and where you can get the plain newsprint), my great deals on fake lambswool fabric for the pups,different ways that people have visitors for the newborn puppies, the dangers of heat lamps and prevention of them bursting, different type of whelping boxes. oh, yeah, the different color craft loops for the pups, (Syd, I think, crocheted loops for them), ways to revive the newborns. oh boy. And more. Then found out my gorgeous anticipated First litter was gorgeous ShepWEILERS. We will miss Mo this year, but she's at the National,TOO! Getting the Hero award for Jerry Lee. We even snuck in some great recipes, (which is why I thought of Mo. Wow, those tasty recipes) Stormy Hope *~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* Dog's love is different, it requires no return www.FairhopeGSD.com ------------------------------ Msg: #4 in digest From: MAJTEACH@xxxxxxx Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2005 13:10:53 EST Subject: potato eating I have puppies, that need to get OUT of here (lol), and they steal potatoes and eat them raw.

It isn't so much that you can prevent them "bursting" , but a fine mesh screen fixed all around the lamp, and fashioned so that it acts as a barrier from any hot bulb fragments from falling in the box, is what we were told, and Jim did it. The hot bulb breaking and falling in shredded paper or shavings is the danger. Also making sure the whole lamp is fixed securely, of course.

While looking at the Sept. Review, I noticed that some of the dogs' front legs (in the "back" position) were inside the rear forward leg and some on the outside. I have never paid any attention to that before. Is there good or bad or indifferent attached to either position?

What a special, nice, kind, man he was. We were club members together way back in the 70's and often gave each other secret smiles when a fellow board member said something stupid (in our opinion.) We tended to be rebels together and enjoyed our private jokes about the nonsense going on around us. Shell was a devoted German Shepherd lover and breeder for over 35 years, that I know about. Sleep well my friend....the world is a little less bright now.

She was our first conformation dog bred by Chris Carter. Her shoulder was very correct and her going away was impeccable. Besides her great temperament and long loving life she was a joyful companion.
