New "I Love (heart) German Shepherds" |
|
This design features Bahnbrecher Jade von Talhaus, the most illustrious guide dog in cyber space. The design says "Ich Liebe Dich (I love you) German Shepherds," and may be worn or displayed by anyone who loves German Shepherds. The design may have particular appeal to anyone who owns a "Bahnbrecher" German Shepherd. A black boarder with golden letters was chosen for its aesthetic appeal; coincidentally, black and gold (with red) are dominant colors on Germany's national flag. However, the only red color in this particular photograph is on Jade's collar. On such items as T-shirts and sweatshirts this design feature "I Love (heart) German Shepherds" on the reverse side so is appropriate for anyone who owns a German Shepherd.
Since Jade became the mascot for Project K-9 at http://www.byteland.ocm/projectk9/dogs.htm, he has helped thousands of canine fanciers find information and resources related to the health, care, training and responsible ownership of all breeds of dogs. You are invited to display "I Love German Shepherd, Bahnbrecher Jade von Talhaus" products with pride. Please contact Jade's owner if you would like him to make you a similar design. Thank you!

Our canine companion working dogs serve in search and rescue, bomb sniffing, patrol and sentry duty and many other dangerous tasks. They are our heros and with us will help win the war on terrorism. Many members of the Islamic fundamentalist faith regard canines as "filthy animals" or "untouchable beasts." This superstition along with the idea that America is the "great Satan" are ideologies we must combat in our endeavor to win the war on terrorism. By honoring our K-9 heroes, remembering 9-11-2001 and displaying the American flag to Support America, we all can help dispel myths about our great nation and win the ideological war on terrorism.

Alabama/regional all breed obedience clubsAll breed obedience clubs may or may not have trainers experienced in dealing with German Shepherds. Before you enter your German Shepherd in any obedience club, check the qualifications and experience of the trainer, the facilities, size of classes and training methods employed. If a trainer is afraid to work with a German Shepherd you should seek a professional trainer who is experience in working with this breed. Also be aware of the fact that all breed obedience clubs sometimes operate more like a garden club for dogs than a professional training institution. Huntsville Obedience Training Club Mobile Bay Dog Training Club We are an all volunteer club dedicated to helping new dog owners, educating the public about purebred dogs and hosting AKC Dog Obedience Trials and matches. We hope you will visit us often to check our coming events and training classes. Montgomery Area Dog Obedience Club - Obedience classes at Goodwyn Community Center were found to be very noisy, uncomfortable due to poor air conditioning and over crowded. I would not recommend this club for GSD obedience until it corrects these deficiences in its operation. |
