This is a very good observation Christine. If the mission of the GSDCA is to promote the breed, in part, then we are only promoting those kennels who sign the BC? So if we are unable to utilize OWN parent club site to advertise, then shouldn't we be given a break on membership. Afterall, it is the *membership * that makes the very club possible. Not just the BC signers but EVERYONE. The fact that the parent club allows only BC signers to use the site to their advantage gives the distinct appearance of 'POLICING" the breed....what's next? Breed Wardens? If people are not given the opportunity to use their memberships fully then some compensation should be made to them...how about PARTIAL membership fees, since the club is only giving out PARTIAL privilege.
