In all honesty, if I were a GSDCA member, I STILL wouldn't vote...not yet, because I don't fully comprehend all the things being voted on. I'm not going to vote if I'm not sure and could harm the breed. Jackie Paul adds... Hiya Jackie... That's when you find a PClub member you trust, respect, and can talk to. Have them discuss your concerns and input their knowledge to your concerns and questions. Then...if you see someone or your mentor gives you someone to vote for that fits your ideals...you vote. I have been a PClub member since 1981. In that time we have me a multitude of good folks that we are proud to call friends. In that time we have also received great advice and mentoring that has assisted us in achieving our quests...sometimes successfully and sometimes not. My point here is I do not think we would have enjoyed the success we have attained if we had not made those friendships and virtually all of those friendships have been people within the PClub. We learned more...faster by those associations. You are your own person and can...and will do...whatever you want. We have enjoyed doing the same thing but with the people who we have met from the PClub and Regional club rolls. I'm not sure we would have learned as much if we hadn't tapped into that pool.
