Looking Back With Lee…Remembering Bea Godsol
Many of the keenest minds whose opinions you prize will freely admit much of what they learned (and more importantly…carry into their judgments on a regular basis) were gifts from this great sportswoman. Bea started in dogs in the early 1930s with her “Coastwise” Newfoundlands. She also had success in other breeds which included German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, Shetland Sheepdogs, and both Sealyham and Dandie Dinmont Terriers. When I say “success” in these chosen breeds, I say it as humbly as Bea would have; she won National Specialties in each of those breeds over her years of her involvement.

I became acutely aware that the pup was getting away with murder, the owners giggling over his stubborn and rather headstrong demeanor.

Looking Back With Lee – Remembering Lamar Kuhns
Looking back…many, many years ago, in a land far away, (namely the German Shepherd Specialty world), I met and became friends with a one-of-a-kind GSD handler by the fanciful name of Lamar Kuhns.
