[Jean Chauvin]

I forgot to add:

"If you made a funny sound with your lips -one he's never heard before- he'd jump up on you in a heart beat and look at your face from 5 inches away with his head cocked trying to figure out what that was while growling at you"

I am still actively breeding and showing -- our family is on its third generation (human-wise) of exhibiting and breeding as well, so showing at the shows is certainly not that bad an avocation as painted here in many posts.

Since I have some hard taught lessons of observance -- if you have a pedigree I would love to see it and see if I can find the common sources of his (this decade's) epilepsy on his. It needn't even have any "known dogs" on the pedigree in the first five generations. I am doing a study on dominant carriers of this genetic defect.
