When EVER there are exemptions, somebody gets screwed. Then those who are exempted go neutral, the non-exempt get furious, and the ARs win. We've been living with ill thought out "exemptions" in L.A. for several years now. So all people with registered pure bred dogs,affiliated with 'clubs" and showing their dogs, are exempted. the huge majority that are not exempted simply went underground and and became apathetic. That's what happens when 'some' get exempted and others don't. Think how you feel about USSA getting those exemptions. Think how USSA is furious now because their exemption is being tightened and the noose is getting tighter. Fight for all!
