I like your thought process Barbara. Information is much more enjoyable to read than reading than a lot of negative comments about, this that and the other. How many of us own dogs because they never have anything bad to say? Here's something to think about, I love my dog because!!! I love my dogs because, they make me laugh and I feel younger and healthier when I smile and laugh. Boy do I use a lot of "and" LOL How come you love your dog?

He has stuck by his conviction that a seated board member/officer of the GSDCA should not judge our national while serving the membership. He has been honored with having judged the Canadian National. Gary and I dont always agree in his picks, but I can tell you when he judges its his opinion alone...not who the dog is or who owns the dog or whos handling the dog. I also feel that it would help to get new faces by changing the 3 year ruling and making it 5 yrs between national judging assignments.

Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxx<mailto:marhaven@xxxxxxx> It seems to me there have been quite a few new faces in the past 4 years or so. Michel Chaloux, Jamie Walker, Gloria Birch, Debbie Hokkanen, Ken Downing. I don't remember for sure if Joan Fox and John DeHope had judged previously. And Dan Smith hadn't judged in several years. Bob Kish is new for next year.

Ed has always been fun to watch and that's why he's been elected so many times. If an Intersex judge does a bad job, they won't be back. By lengthing the time, some of the most knowledgable and best judges will be too old to return. I think I also favor one vote, we do that for President.

Used to be that you always wore a skirt, but now I see some in pants suits or slacks and blouse . Do you think that a nice pair of slacks and blouse are just as good as a skirt now days . What about in the specialty ring ? I have been watching but I can't seem to make a decision. Can safely go to slacks instead of a skirt or not .???

I have one that will gain some, then lose it again. In the past, dogs I've had like that have outgrown it, but this boy is 6 now and still does the same. His TLI is 7.1, so he doesn't have EPI. He's tested free of parasites, and even after I treated him anyway (just in case) there was no change. I tried different foods and supplements - again he'd gain, then lose it again. He went through aspiration pnuemonia that repeated itself a few times - while clearing that up, we did a barium test, blood tests and scoped him - no mega, healthy heart, kidneys, liver,etc, and normal thyroid. He's just a lean dog! Three of his progeny are the same, while others are not. It drives me crazy, but I'm just feed him a high quality food and luckily his coat looks great and he has plenty of energy - I suspect the energy may be the problem, as he and his 'skinny' kids are all nonstop fence runners!

Below is a link to just one of the many sites on this topic. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/exocrine_pancreatic_insufficie.html Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (also called ââ?¬Å?Maldigestionââ?¬Â?) The most common cause of digestive enzyme deficiency in dogs is ââ?¬Å?pancreatic acinar atrophy,ââ?¬Â? where the pancreas simply is shriveled and useless. This condition seems to have a genetic basis but is not congenital and may develop at any age (though usually shows up before age 4 years). The German Shepherd Dog and Rough-Coated Collie are particularly at risk and the mode of inheretance appears to be autosomal recessive and involves immune-mediated destruction of the pancreas. About 70% of dogs with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency are German Shepherd dogs and 20% are Rough Collies Lyn Ginger Cleary <cleary1414@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: NOT for me, LOL!

My last show I had a allergic reaction to a medication, so I had to wear tennis shoes, and I was not able to wear a tie since I was not able to button the top button. Most of my suits are compliments of the US Army, so my jacket supply is very small. What will hurt you in the ring as far as dress. Of course I would never enter the ring in jeans, but is business casual a sin? Could not wearing a tie or a jacket hurt?
