I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU ABOUT OUR GERMAN SHEPHERD HOLLY. HOLLY WAS A SABLE GERMAN SHEPHERD, WE  GOT HER FROM A GERMAN SHEPHERD BREEDER AT HILLTOP IN SOUTHERN NSW AUSTRALIA.
 
SHE REALLY WANTED US TO PICK HER OUT OF THE LITTER. SHE CAME UP TO MY HUSBAND & I & JUST PUSHED HER WAY PAST ALL OF THE OTHER PUPPIES. SHE WAS A CUTE BALL OF FLUFF BEING A SABLE & WE JUST KNEW SHE WAS THE ONE.
 
WE TOOK HER HOME & SHE SETTLED IN JUST NICELY. HOLLY WAS VERY CLOSE TO ME AS I BEGAN TO DO OBEDIENCE WORK WITH HER. SHE WAS A VERY STUBBORN DOMINANT DOG WHO JUST WANTED TO DO WHAT SHE WANTED. BUT I HAD OTHER IDEAS. SO WE WORKED REALLY HARD TO GAIN OUR NOVICE CERTIFICATE (COMPANION DOG) I WAS VERY PROUD OF HER & OF MYSELF AS IT WAS HARD WORK. SHE GAINED HER CERTIFICATE IN HER 6TH, 7TH & 8TH TRIAL.
 
THEN WE DECIDED TO GET ANOTHER DOG A GERMAN SHEPHERD OF COURSE. HOLLY WAS ABOUT 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. SHE TOOK TO TYSON VERY WELL. THEY BECAME VERY GOOD MATES & HE WAS GREAT COMPANY FOR HOLLY. THEY WERE INSEPARABLE. I STILL TOOK HOLLY TO DOG TRAINING & I TOOK TYSON AS WELL. HOLLY WOULD PROTECT HIM AT ALL TIMES FROM OTHER DOGS. SHE WOULD DOMINATE HIM AS WELL. BUT TYSON BE A LAY BACK BOY TOOK IT ALL IN HIS STRIDE.
 
HOLLY WAS VERY SPECIAL TO ME, I WENT THROUGH A VERY BAD TIME IN MY LIFE BUT SHE SEEMED TO UNDERSTAND HOW I WAS FEELING. SHE WOULD LAY BY MY SIDE & JUST LOOK AT ME TRYING TO SAY THAT SHE KNEW HOW I FELT.
 
HOLLY PASSED AWAY LAST YEAR IN JUNE. WE MISS HER VERY MUCH. THERE ISN’T A DAY THAT GOES BY THAT WE DO NOT THINK OF HER. SHE WAS CREMATED & HER ASHES SCATTERED TO THE SEA. SHE WAS 10 YEARS OLD. I HAVE HAD GERMAN SHEPHERDS FOR OVER 25 YEARS, ALL LOVELY DOGS, BUT HOLLY WAS A SPECIAL GIRL THAT CAME INTO OUR LIVES & WILL ALWAYS BE WITH US.
 
THANKYOU FOR LETTING ME SHARE THIS STORY WITH YOU.
