Jim, as you know, I'm very active in Rottweiler Rescue and the feeling is very similar. Once a year, the Gulfstream Rottweiler Club has a Parade of Rescue and all the dogs that were adopted throughout the years through our organization Gulfstream Guardian Angels Rottweiler Rescue get to "show off" in the ring with their owners. One year, Marion Louise went around the ring with Linda. I get the same lump in my throat seeing the dogs I personally evaluated and placed as I do watching my dogs/puppies show in the Conformation or Performance rings.

However, there is something about seeing a 26 inch, 140 lb. Rottie boy looking so gorgeous and remembering delivering him with your own two hands just 2 1/2 years ago. You feel as if you did something special.
