I agree, but am glad for it. I have not interviewed everybody yet, and I do realize some of them may not be suitable for a Shepherd (at least not yet), but again, I am glad to have garnered such early (and long lasting) interest.

For sure!

On the subject of Cheque drops, I think it is a damn shame that specialing Mystique took precedence over her being in the whelping box. We all KNOW she was a winner and a beautiful bitch...so WHY didn't they let her reproduce it? I wish there were something like her out there again, because what a disappointment.

I was in 4H towards the start of Mystique's career. Jimmy was extremely nice to me and the other 4Hers at the one big show here that our club worked at every year. He'd bring her to the 4H tent and let everyone "meet" her and those of us who were around after she won BIS (cause she always did LOL) could give her whatever treats he didn't use in the ring. After the BIS picture he'd let her loose and she'd jump the ring gate to get to her travel friend, a corgi. While I have no idea what sort of working ability she may or may not have had, I never saw that dog act freaky or weird at all and I saw her at show after show for years. I really liked her - certainly one of my all-time favorite show dogs of any breed.

Thanks for the picture! Who are you breeding her to?

I'll be breeding her to Am/Can Ch Andaka-Zederland U R It CGC RAE "Tag"

She will also be bred to Justin (2nd litter).

Here's pictures!!!! There was a LOVELY woman that took pictures with her uber awesome Nikon that she's going to e-mail me. No stack pics until she sends, but here's some (small but useful) gaiting stills, as well as hotel stills xD

I won't bore you with the video of her being a spazz in the hotel.

And as much as I don't want to jinx it, I think we're going to have SUMMER PUPPIES!!!!!

Walkin' around:

Still walking....Strauss wondering what I've done:

Being a good girl in her kennel (she LOVES kennels o.O!):

Doing what the handler said she wouldn't:

Showing off her silly tongue spot (she's part Chow you know ;)):

Zonked out (at last):

Strauss, being a combination of tired and "Seriously, why do you do this to me? I can't hit girls...you suck.":

And on the move with me for the first time...please ignore my chunkiness:

I still need to learn how well she really moves, but that's not bad for our first time.

I will say that she just taught me something valuable. She walks normally and gaits normally, but you have to see it on pavement....put her on grass and she looks like she's gaiting off her hocks x.x

I'll get video for you guys of her on both surfaces once I have her, so you can see/understand better (you know I don't abide by cripples x.x).
