From: Crossroadsgsd@xxxxxxx Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2006 03:13:08 EDT Subject: Re: showgsd-l Digest V3 #1109 I hate to inform you Barbara BUT I have heard this for many, many years. We have a very big Import Kennel out here that sells crappy imports for BIG BUCKS to pet people who CANNOT handle the prey drive in these dogs. They do NOT guarantee their dogs for any genetic problems. Hell I had a couple who were waiting for a puppy and went to this Kennel and paid $1800.00 for a long coat GSD. We boarded him and he is NOT stable. This is not a personal attack, just truth. Cathleen Bennett Rialto, Ca _www.crossroadsgsd.com_ (http://www.crossroadsgsd.com/) we have puppies Raised with LOVE, sold with care Cathleen: There are good and bad and inbetween in all Shepherds.. Many people do not know anything about the German bloodlines and the differences between East German and West German ...etc. Sport and Show Lines, etc. I am not going to get into a German versus American debate as I thought that sort of posting was not allowed on this List... I must apologize for my post to Evan last night, as I left off two important words on the end of the sentence... I mean't to say, " I am surprised you don't choke on your own crap you write." The way it read with the two words left off on the end, it came out quite crude...and for that i do apologize...to all. But I do NOT apologize for my response... I thought I could come and enjoy this List, but obviously the bias and the prejudice is still there and still being brought up.. It is always a one-sided debate , which I believe is very unfair to those of us who own and love our German Kids... There are bad apples in every barrel and I know of unethical breeders, brokers, etc. on both sides of this argument...Barb Williams ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
