How many of you have considered what is best for our breed ? I hate to dwell on the olden days when nationals were fun, judges were respected, even dogs were respected (what a concept ), Gosh ! even boards were respected.Law suites ? horrors----no need. There should be no need now, and a wrongthat should never have been implemented should not be considered of anyimportance.let's get back to what is really important..... the improvement ofour breed, instead of bickering about unimportant, idiotic "control" issues.Who cares who controls the club if it is in the best interest of our breed. Big LOL.

However, it really boils down to choices. Life is nothing but a result of the choices you make. No one makes anyone do what he or she doesn't want to do. You may say they twisted your arm to do something, BUT you are ultimately the person who makes the choice. If you lack the backbone, and you give up your power to someone else and make a wrong choice, it's still YOU making the wrong choice. ---- Sam Israel wrote: In conclusion, no board member would ever agree to Marjorie's offer of settlement unless they were personally released. This is very common. I just don't know if Marjorie has made such an offer, but this could be what is holding up the settlement. ----- In regard to what Sam posted, if that were a possibility, why would anyone in their right mind agree to put themselves and their families in jeopardy for a VOLUNTEER JOB WITH A DOG CLUB? I believe our Board has all the BACKBONE they need and the good sense not to back down to threats. It's their choice because it's their lives and OUR club they are protecting.
