Hello from New York State

Finally getting around to introduce myself. I am not good with this computer stuff.
I lost my 14yr. old DS in Nov. and found this group while looking for a pup. There are NO DS anywhere near my area. Finally found a pup and have had to wait forever for the snow to leave so I could get outside with her!
I've had dogs and horses most of my life. I did some work with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, as a "puppy contact person" for the 4-H puppy raising program back in the 80's.
Bred GSD's, AKC Conformation shows for several years. I enjoy Obedience but have never done any of the SchH/Ring Sport things. Also showed some ARBA conformation dogs. Lots of dogs/different breeds/this is a great breed.

My old girl was bred by Dianne SanLorenzo at her Von Christel Kennel, an Atos daughter. I lost her Nov. 19, 2010. She will forever be in my heart.
My new girl was whelped Nov. 19, 2010 and when I found that out I had to go look at the litter. It feels as if the old girl sent her to me. When I looked at the litter I didn't touch any of the pups--I prefer to stand back and watch their movement, conformation, etc. This girl kept stopping and starring at me as if she knew me. She had the best conformation in the litter so I brought her home. She came right in and laid down in my old girls "Place" and acted as tho she already knew all the rules here from the start. It gives me the shivers.
I got her from Vandalia, a Timo daughter. She is learning obedience very quickly and loves it. I'm in love again, and she is still starring at me.

I'm so happy for you. It is so nice when the hole left in your heart by one departure is made less difficult to bear by the space taken up by a new arrival
.
How nice that she seems to be just the right girl for you!
