Well folks, if anyone had any "doubt" as to how to handle this kind of situation within OUR club, here is a very clear guideline, courtesy of the AKC board minutes. A very recent situation, and a very clear understanding as to how it should be handled, and corrected. Of course, that is assuming everyone is just concern about doing things according to the rules. The same rules that were broken in the first place. What is a shame is that because of the arrogance of the people, the dogs have to lose their winnings. What a waste of time, money and training. Looking forward to see how the Board of Directors of the GSDCA is going to handle our "in-house" problems.
