Question re. Dallas - Page 3

And here I thought all these years that Hatter traveled all over in Firestone's private plane. Still it doesn't sound as if he was deprived of much LOL. There is a particular photo of Uzi I've seen in a number of publications - to me it brings to mind the term "the look of eagle". It's a long story that I won't bore you with, but that photo is the reason why I still have a GSD. I had given up on the breed when I saw it LOL. His owner told me she found him dead of natural causes in his favorite spot under a tree in her backyard. He lived a long life. I believe Mystique still holds the AKC record for most BIS's, doesn't she? Sorry to say I never saw her in the flesh. By all accounts she sounds like a very special dog. I wonder what I'd be doing with my life now had I not bought my first purbred dog and entered my first dog show.

Firethorn, please take better care of your hseep. They were very skinny in the background of the Dallas photos.

I have no clue what you are talking about, but those sheep body condition score between 2.5 and 3 two weeks prior to those pictures. Those photographs were taken in early October, and they had lambed (all twins and trips) in April and had been weaned off of their lambs two weeks prior to this trial. They were also shorn late. Prior to breeding them in December that year they were brought up to BC 3-3.5. Do you have sheep? Perhaps you are unfamiliar with production type Dorsets. These are wonderful sheep that raise many pounds of lamb on grass year in and year out. We recently put one to sleep at nearly 14 years of age. Other than that I haven't lost a sheep in many years. We rarely lose any lambs either unless there is a weather prolem. Sheep that are too thin or too fat do not produce the way these sheep do.

Too bad, another respectful discussion spun around into a negative critique of one of the posters and the way she handles her sheep.
