I will never forget GVx Langenau's Tango and GV Caesar v Carahaus at my first National. If memory serves, The Parade of Greats had Reno, Nanhall's Julip, Eko-Lan's Glory, amongst others. I was smitten. The thrill of my life, still to this day...ok, there are three.....1.) putting a CD on '71 National WD Ch Salenchar's Brinn v Liebestraum (Lance son out of a German bitch), 2.) Sitting on the couch at the Freeney's house in 1974 with Double GV Mike, and, 3.) Harley!! So, from 1971 until today, I was entranced, and still am entranced, with this breed and these great dogs.

I would still be today if they were around. I realize there were problems then but oh what dogs. Now I tend to forget who was gv's were in the last 10 years. I am sure they were good dogs but there is nothing to compare to the dogs you saw when you still had stars in your eyes. Today I remember the bitches - they will be the stars in my eyes tomorrow Stars in your eyes is good - they give you memories for ever Sally ____________________________________________________________ $13/Month Car Insurance?
