My current recipe for a healthy life is to attempt to set aside all personal grudges, attacks, and dog politics, and remember the beauty of life and love from your dogs.
One man who should be remembered for having such a passion for dogs and life is Reiner Georgii. Barbet breeder in Holland, Greet, created a beautiful memorial web page for Reiner Georgii. If you own a Barbet, Georgii may have contributed to the pedigree of your dog. Just look for Poppenspäler’s and you will see the influence Georgii had in the Barbet breed. I hope he is in a happy place filled with dogs and peace. Thank you Greet for such a beautiful memorial.
