I am thankful for your pointing out the mistake, but how many times do I have to request a correction before it happens? Though that's a side comment, just adding to the discussion that receiving the Review is not a reason to continue a membership. The Review is pretty, but the read is over in minutes, the advertisements are lovely, but not what I'm interested in. I am much more likely to read the website since I am on the computer a lot. Which is why I am on the list, good or bad. The discussions are not always sunshine and roses, but this (and the other gsd list) seems to be a good place to put a finger on the pulse of the membership. And with that thought, it's no wonder I am "no member." Denise W.

Review My job is very time consuming, I try to get away to a few dog shows now and then. While enjoying really nice people at The GSDC Miami, someone asked me "have you been on the list?" I remarked "no" and was told I might want to visit. So---- I just quickly scanned through the posts. First and foremost- if you have visited www.gsdca.org/(click on review/articles) and read Dave Rinkes ENTIRE Review interview-you owe it to the breed to read it. This should cause some constructive feed back and a good use of time and energy. The Review printed the meat and the website is your online source for details. Allow me to thank Pam Stoesser for the phenomenal work in conducting the interview and Dave Rinke for his candor. Come on everyone, rather than nit pick a handle missing in a photo or someone bit%$#g about a misprint on a dog win (BTW: the dog was marked wrong in the judges book hence the misprint-duh!)Which I knew of first hand and informed the judge and owner to notify AKC.- why not visit the GSDCA.org site and discuss the views from a very educated and accomplished fellow dog enthusiast? Folks, it is basic business. No advertising equals no revenue which equals limited articles. The GSDCA is not an bottomless well. You would like to see blah, blah, blah- "the old reviews had so much information" (and we had 25 times more people in the breed- hello!) not one post mentioned the whole Rinke interview on the web. It is OUTSTANDING. Susan has done a great job of getting The Review out on a timely manner and the ads are wonderful. The number of ads is out of her control. We have very few people in the breed and the economy is not thriving. Hence, fewer ads. Not rocket science- real world. So, while some of us are busting butts having some of greats interviewed- it sure would be nice to comment on the POSITIVE points. Gail was wonderful, Susan is wonderful. Susan reports to the BOD- don't throw darts at her. The BOD is her boss- she is not the CEO/CFO/COO. LOL. I have no hidden agenda, do not aspire to be Review editor, and just want to see some greats captured. Anyone out there want to read the entire interview and comment on Daves words? You want an on-line publication- yet I have not seen anyone comment on the whole monty available on the web. Are these interviews valuable or not? Or are we just fault judges?
