Linda, I do not know why you keep saying you are to blame. You were were not sanctioned? Just asking.....That is what the AKC , our Ultimate Governing Body claims , but to everyone's knowledge, including the AKC YOU are mentioned NOWHERE.......so why the blame on yourself? You are obviously guilty of nothing...please don't get embroiled in what the AKC does NOT see as your issue, apparently.
