Good point Lee. John is on the board of directors of the local AB club, and that has helped some. The president of that club has a GSD so she joined the GSDC of Beaumont several years ago. Both clubs now work together to help each other out. If our entries ever decline so we need to cluster with an AB, they will welcome us with open arms.........
