Well interesting as if the Handlers do not come who is going to show the dogs
in conformation?
Now the majority of members that do show the Handlers are the ones to bring
the dogs into the conformation classes. Look at the bigger picture where
do most of the Handlers live? It is not the West Coast is it? Membership where
are most of them? Not in the Western state it seems. New members joining the
majority not in the West either. Take a look at the Specialty entries in the
West the dogs
that actually show up and are shown not in the West either.
I really do not care where the National is held just look at the bigger picture
where the money
is for the club to survive and promote the GSD again is not in the West or
rotating. It has been told to
the members if they can find a place to have the Nationals in the West that
does not lose money or cost
a fortune find it. Now look at the overall GSDs actually show up at the
Nationals how many show in conformation?
Times are changing owners now are showing more in other events and they drive
their own dogs to the Purina Farm.
The general public your future owners of GSDs will go to the Purina Farm to
watch and learn about the GSD not
at a Specialty Show regardless of where it is.
Carolyn, I know your dedication to the GSD but you know the members that are
voicing the most resentment on the Purina Farm
again use Handlers to show their GSDs in conformation and do not show their own
dogs.

It says nothing about where the Handlers live....and it says
nothing about how many do NOT show at local Specialty
shows for choosing a location. That OFTEN has to do with Judges
anyway!
Perhaps the West just might become a
little more important to you and others with this kind of
thinking if some of the membership dues from the West fails to continue
coming in. Possibly the 'numbers' would
look a little bigger then.............sigh........
