Those who follow this web site regularly may remember the story of Steve and Mike. They moved to Long Beach, Mike to further his career with the U.S. Goverment, working for the Veteran's Administration and Steve, an aspiring actor, to further his acting career either on the screen or on TV. Both were valued club members, both worked hard, and titled their dogs here at the Johann Platt Schaferhund Verein. |
|
Most important to Joyce was the fact that they loved their dogs; planed to continue working with their dogs and are very good friends. While everyone misses them, they have done very well professionally, personally and with their dogs. They found a club and continue to love and work with their dogs. Just to see how well they are doing, Joyce thought a picture might help understand just how well they are doing. |

If you look a little close, you can see a portion of their little "cottage". Fortunately, since the "cottage" does not take up too much of the grounds, the dogs have suffient room to run and keep their eye on the electric gates. |
