A lot of what Mrs Crane did was truly heroic.  Maybe the same could be said 
for Madame Harper as well.  We probably got here in North America much of the 
good stock that was in Europe just prior to WW II.  This was rescue of the 
highest order.  Unfortunately all that was imported was not so good as well.  

Tell us something about the history of how and from where the dogs came to 
New Zealand starting in 1947.  I always assumed they came from England and 
Australia.
