OUR RECENT TRIP TO GERMANY  On January 7th we planned a trip to visit Germany. I was greeted in Frankfurt by my good friend and host Klaus Jostock of Speicher Germany. On the agenda was to compete the next day at the dog show in Riedlingen then training rest of the week at Speicher BG. I am so grateful to Klaus for his kind hospitality and some great memories.
