I notice you and Todd seem to be "bonding" lately. What next, dogs and cats living together in harmony? VanCamp and the American Show people sharing love? Cats and mice? Cobra and mongoose? Yankee and Redsox fans?

I have been under a lot of stress lately. I'm sure I'll be back to my usual bitchy self soon enough <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

And the day VanCamp starts sharing love with the American Show people is the day I'll trade in my GSDs for a pair of teacup poodles <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I haven't been in such a good mood in a long time. My coworkers keep wanting to know what happened to the other Melissa <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ....maybe bitchy went out the door with my husband. Maybe life really doesn't suck all the time. What a concept <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Funny you mention that... I said hi reservedly to Dar and then asked him if he wanted to sire a pup for me.... he then jumped up and hugged me, so I said "for me, not with me dear"

Great minds think alike. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Now who in the hell am I supposed to fight with? Wait I mean have a spirited debate with? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Oh don't worry, the SOB keeps calling me, so if he tries to come back, I'm sure I'll turn back into a bitch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

All four of my sisters are "now single" and they have turned into fantastic human beings because they can now be who they are. It will only get better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Todd
I don't think my last post sent.
Is domanance or rank more of a problem around kids?(supervised of course) I have had numerous domanant dogs, only one I would consider rank. We went around often, but that was before my kids, and I was in my Koehler years.

Well as for Todd, I haven't met him, unfortunely he will meet me. Yes his dogs are fantastic, I have been looking at them since I came on the Board. Yes I would trust him to pick, out the right pup for me. Also from what litter to get a pup from. I think picking a pup is a talent all in it self. Choosing the litter to pick out of even more so.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

My delima is that I also have found a litter with fantastic pedigree on both sides. I may ask Todd to look at sire and dam and give his input.

That would take some balls to ask a breeder to elvalute a sire and dam that belongs to someone else for possible purchasse of a pup.

As you all can see there is no easy answer to making a choice that will be a lifetime commit to a pup. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Todd do you want to help??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Butch,

My job is to make sure the right pup gets to the right person. If that means out of another breeding so be it.

Let me know who they are and I will give you my version of the run down on the pedigree.
