TO START S**T, That has to be one of NASTIEST, most ignorant things I have EVER read on this list. As a list member myself, I am ASHAMED of your response, and appalled. This lady was asking opinion from a supposedly educated group of people and GSD lovers after the loss of a four legged buddy....and she gets this attitude????? And people wonder why we have gotten (collectively) the "elitest" tag, and why it is that newcomers to the American ring feel so ostracized.... Good Lord, why on earth would anyone say such a thing???? Why? and a judge to boot. That is just dandy. Good luck to this lady, I am sorry for the loss of her GSD and I hope she finds her perfect friend, however it may be bred , and doesn't run into the nastiness displayed in this ugly response.
