BEAUTIFULLY STATED , Carolyn ! I have know Frank for 50+ YEARS,I respect his opinion on theGSD ! he has produced some of our Nicest GSds. HE is a Nice Man, and even tho' I disagree with his ideas about ours being not as healthy as the German ,I have never had the Health problems that he has had or I read about on the List a Lot ! rom: Carolyn Martello <marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>rg Date: Saturday, September 5, 2009, 3:13 AM When Frank Tate was on the List we at least talked about the German Shepherd DOG!! He would start a discussion and it would often end up an argument.....which he enjoyed....but at least we talked dogs!! I have tried many times to get a discussion going about the ACTUAL GSD.....but I am not as talented as Frank Tate for tweaking a discussion. I miss him......and I REALLY miss discussng this Breed!! What a waste of a great List for the Breed. It has become a List about US.......and we are not nearly as 'noble' as our dogs no matter how much we 'sugar coat' it.

I happened to love him.-He went from some gorgeous American bred dogs to predominately German bred. I laughed a lot when he was on the list Sally And he also was the biggest puppy mill in Long Island Louise Lepore Fiorellino ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2009.
