You said If you want my two cents.... The people who arent joining the PC are those not heavily involved in showing... correct? The PC dues are expensive, and one of the main benefits is the review. ____________ I don't think that is necessarily true. Maybe they are performance people. The PC's main concern seems to be conformation. Maybe they show mainly all breed shows and advertising in The Review will do nothing for them because all breed judges don't normally read it . If you want to place an ad in the Review for a particular specialty show how to you know what issue you need to have it in if the Review is never on time? I know a person whose goal next year is to get her speical invited to the Eukanuba Invitational and is starting a puppy bitch in conformation. I'd say this person is heavily invovled in showing and yet this person does not belong to the PC. Maybe the PC should take a private poll using this list to find out why some listers are not members of the PC, although activie in GSD's. If the responses were guaranteed to remain private the PC might learn something and try to do something , if anything can be done, to attract these people.
