Thank you to all who responded to me privately and on the list regarding this situation. I will say the response was overwhelmingly in favor of pursuing the complaint with AKC. There were so many responses I simply could not reply privately. I do truly appreciate your support. I sincerely appreciate everyones input and will keep you informed as to the ultimate outcome of this delimma. Again, I truly appreciate the support of the GSD community in this endeavor. It is not a task I chose to undertake, but felt it was necessary to pursue for several reasons. I am pleased to see that the GSD community supports integrity and honesty in the breeding of the German Shepherd Dog.
