Are you just proud to have a BB animal to go into the group or are you feeling like it is not worth staying for? I have no opinion--just wondering how you all feel . Sandi SAndi: In 2003 ,my dog Ch. Richterslusts Mr. T of Nordlicht, the sire of your BAdBoy, won 40 Group 1.We lost BIS to some of the top winning animals in the US but it was always a thrill to win that Group. It made me very proud of my dog and the German Shepherd breed.I loved to hear the handlers from the other breeds say" Here comes that DAMN shepherd" as we walked to the group ring. It was well worth the wait.
