More: German is a cancer survivor , we celebrate his birthday once a week. He walks every day 5 miles with his pack , he still loves to retrieve , swim every day and still competes in nosework. He is the 10Th Labrador in the country to have earned the Elite Champion of the NACSW. We went hunting together, travelled in airplanes , went to 5 star hotels- you name it German is the perfect companion .
