About Our GV AOE "BOSS"

We call him BOSS because he truly thinks he is.  BOSS is completely
fearless and totally in love with life!

BOSS'S career was short and sweet. Shown four weekends
out of the puppy class he finished his Championship at 18 1/2 months
including a Best in Futurity.

Shown six times the following year he was the # 1 Winning
German Shepherd Dog at Specialties.
Shown two times the following year, he became the  1997 U.S.Grand Victor


He is our fierce protector, our Best Buddy and one of our
greatest pleasures. He is our BOSS.
