In a message dated 1/6/2007 8:38:57 PM Pacific Standard Time, Showgsd- Msg: #5 in digest From: "Kathy Martin" <foxtrotgsd@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: "Tough Dogs" Date: Sat, 6 Jan 2007 17:18:54 -0800 Speaking of "tough dogs".....Ray Johnson (one of our 50 year members) can tell some very interesting stories about handling Marie Leary's German import, Ch. Harry v Donaki. Barb W. probably remembers the dog too. How about the Review asking the "pillars of our breed" to write some short articles remembering the "old days" and some of the dogs they used to handle?? Do any List members watch The Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel?? HE knows how to rehabilitate "tough dogs"!! Very interesting show...highly recommended! (new List member) Kathy Martin, Foxtrot German Shepherds Home of BIS/BISS Ch. Glenlo's Dallas of Delray and BIS Ch. Foxtrot 'N Delrays Foretravel CD foxtrotgsd@xxxxxxxxxxx > Kathy: I sure do remember him.. I got to handle him for some movies and we bred our Portrait to him and that was her best litter, (she had 12..all lived and thrived...10 outstanding boys, and 2 girls) from which eventually came our Man O' War...as Man O' War's Dam was sired by Santana's Inferno from that litter, bred to Portrait and produced Santana's Darra, and when she was bred to Bernd Kallengarten, produced Santana's Man o' War.. Donaukai was also the Sire of the German Sieger Volker vom Zollgrenschutzhaus a Magnficent Male...Ray can tell you about Donaukai getting out of his crate on the plane and how he ended up in the plane's cabin...when Bill Ford shipped him to California to breed to Portrait. Lots of wonderful stories and times... Donaukai took your breath away just looking at him...He was so impressive!! He truly was One in a Million...barb williams. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
