    • An interview with the ultimate authority, and now a legend in the breed, the late Walter Martin of Wienerau Kennels in Germany.  This interview became a classic since he passed on and has been reprinted in many languages around the world.  It is a lasting testament and final advice of Mr. Martin to the GSD community.

  • The success of the live seminars elicited the interest of Canine Training Systems to create a video series on structure, movement, and the show scene.  As author of the series I had an opportunity of putting the "inside view" of judging into an effective teaching tool.  Later, SV Judge Henning Setzer would say of these videos "They are the best ever made on the breed."
