        MAX
           
  Max was born, 9 Sept 1999, in the mountains of Maryland.  I got Max for my son, Marcus, one Saturday in October.  It was instant friendship.  They have been buddies every since.  Max was named after boxer, Max Schmelling.  Schmelling was a Jewish boxer fighting under the Nazi regime, against his will, with pressures  unimaginable to most. When we got Max he was sick, the litter runt and living outside with his brother and sister in the cold.  His mother had been killed by a car after whelping and his father sold off after mating.  Only three of eight in the litter survived after his mother's death.   He too, had unimaginable odds of surviving. 
                       
         
      Max is now doing well.  He survived a rough, ill stricken first few weeks with us.  He is now about to begin schutzhund training.
