It is unfortunate it was stated that way. Lanalee has been working hard on the new Illustrated Standard. Hundreds of hours have gone into it, and there can be no question to her dedication to our breed. While you may not agree with the current product, it should not in any way be any implication that those who have dedicated so much to it, did anything less than their best efforts. I am struck that while we fight over the Illustrated Standard, Iraq is trying to figure out how to get the country to accept a constitution. Tammy, Joan, Ricky and John are fighting to breath another breath, and wake another day. Every day one of us loses either a family member, great friend or puppy, for yet another heart break. Life is short, hard and a challenge. The true challenge for each of us is to enjoy each day, laugh as often as possible, dance even when there is no music, and make someone else smile. That is what I always try to do, and will try harder tomorrow and every day thereafter. Thank you to all who have tried so hard to develop an Illustrated Standard, and for the time effort and dedication it has taken.
