Ok, I might get some flack for saying this, but darn it, if I did my job the way Gail is doing hers, i would be fired! I am sure that there will be apologies for the omission, but that is no excuse and I am sure Laura is very disappointed. It is time for a change, enough excuses. The quality of the Review is so poor that I am even thinking of dropping my PC membership..I mean why bother? I am not so naive that I don't understand all of the subtle nuances in running a monthly publication, but this is just ridiculous.

And, imagine our surprise to discover that the Ad we sent in for the Stud dog issue was nowhere to be found. The photos were send in prior to the deadline. Gail confirmed she received the photos and assured me I would get mine back. Now I've been told she didn't receive it, huh? She wanted originals and I don't have another copy of that photo. The ad featured two dogs. This was discussed prior to submission and Gail was given the go ahead to format it as neccessary. The check was cashed. So, where is our Ad? I am fairly new to the Breed and this is the first GSD I have that I felt warranted and Ad in the Review. What a great idea to get those up and coming stud dogs noticed. I have been waiting and waiting for this issue. Then, NO AD! And no prior explaination or any idea that the ad wouldn't be there. It is no secret that there have been problems with the Review. But this is unacceptable. No wonder the Review has shrunk. Why would anyone want to TRY to place an ad when it may or may not be there? Why spend my money with the Review when I can use it for entry fees or some other dog related thing? This has left a bad taste in my mouth and I am incredibly dissappointed by the lack of professionalsm displayed here.
