I do think the AKC should have worked with the GSDCA on this since it is a club event, but I can't argue that the AKC sanctions it, and therefore has the right to act as it did. *********************************************** That would be correct. As Show Chairman for my AB club I get at least a dozen letters after each show that they sent to the exhibitors advising them to return all awards to me. The never do. I think in 15 years I received maybe a half dozen ribbons back and not one trophy.
