I have to agree with the comment posted by Renee King 100%. I have been to Southern/Roc Airedale numerous and have always found the dogs well taken care of and clean. Southern Sollars ALWAYS delivers exactly what she promises. I spoke with Diane Johnson myself right after she opened Dixies pen wich resulted in the injuries that later proved to be fatal. When I questioned Diane Johnson why she opened pens (Southern's strict rule not to open pens was ignored), Diane answered, "I was just trying to help." At the time Diane was at Souther/Roc to observe an working Airedale kennel and did not pocess the skills necessary to be working any of the dogs on the property. Trying to attemp helping Southern work her dogs was a huge misguidance in Ms. Johnson''s head at her abiliities to handle such dogs. I have spoken to Diane Johnson on numerous occasions and find her unstable and should not be breeding dogs. That is only my opinion, as for I am not a doctor and cannot say she is really unstable, just appears so. I was at Southern/Roc Sept -08 and personally whitnessed how ill the dog (Dixie) was resulting from the injury. Dixie did diliver pups at that time with extreme difficulty and Southern Sollars used all of her skill to keep Dixie and the said litter alive, which was impressive!
