Bessie

This picture was taken a long time ago, in addition to a beard, I had brown hair.

I’m not sure of the location; this was an AKC obedience trail in Pennsylvania or Maryland.

This bitch was a product of one of my own breedings. Her parents were both German bred, she was born in Smithsburg. Her mother was a “sharp” Schutzhund breed, black and tan I bought from Heinz Matzen. Her father was a “The Fidelco Guide Dog Foundation”, sire in Bloomfield, Connecticut.  He was from German HGH or herding titled dogs.
