[nagdu] shepherds

[Marianne Denning]

I was told by my school that they stopped using shepherds for several
years because it was hard to find dogs without hip dysplasia.  They
have found a few healthy dogs so have a few to train but not many.
Luckily, I have not wanted a shepherd.  I ask for the dog that would
be best suited to me. I love dogs and all breeds of dogs.
