When our dog Locker passed her CGC test, this is what her evaluator had to say about her:
"Carol,
It was a pleasure to meet you and your husband today and do Locker's CGC testing. She is a beautiful dog, not only in looks, but in temperament as well. I would love to make a "road trip" and come up sometime to see your dogs. I'm not sure yet when I will be able to get another Shepherd, but I am very interested in what you have.
I look forward to talking with you in the future.
Sincerely,
Mary Peter"
