No, John,

Why do you ask?

modeng200023:
My cousin was the treasurer or secretary, not sure which of Vigil.

Also I like german shepherds.

Great photo of the puppy, Please post a pic of her now?
A dogs company and faithful loyalty is a great way to keep the blues at bay
Our little Jack Russel is a little over 7 years old now but still a puppy at heart
She is the best intruder (visitor) alarm alive

Okay, John, here she is.... in a few photos, because no one of them gives a clear impression of her shape.
 


She has longer front legs than a Dachshund, but retains the powerful digging front-end: a deep heavy "keel" breastbone and muscle structure. Dachshunds were designed to hunt badgers underground. There have been occasions sitting next to her on the couch where if I picked up a ball to throw it, she grabbed my arm with her two paws, not her mouth, and pulled it right down. Her grip and power is amazing for a 20 pound dog. It was like arm wrestling with a guy.

Her rear quarters are taller than her front. They look like a gazelle's, and work like them as well. She's an amazing jumper, and with her long legs and body her full gallop gait is about a meter long. Needless to say, she's faster than a speeding bullet!

This photo shows a better impression of how long she is, including her neck. To me she looks almost cat-like:

 

She loves to play. She can easily catch a carrot slice tossed to her while cooking, and if you throw even a tiny (6mm) bit of puppy kibble skittering across the floor she's after it and has caught it in mid air on the second bounce. I can't even see the darn thing, but she can.
