Anti-trust laws have to do with unfair business practices, price fixing, monopolies, cartels of advantage, etc. We do not set our dues based on the dues of other dog clubs - no collusion there. We do not require the regional clubs to charge a certain amount for entry fees. In fact the only thing we do require of people is that while attending the shows, they smile and have fun, unless they are grumpy that day. The issue of anti-trust is the obtaining of a financial advantage in the market place by manipulations that destroy the free market float of prices. Am I missing something? We can't even agree on the price of a pet puppy. Sign me confused..... Dave P.S. If this works, I have several seminars I will sell you! ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
