But, do we want people on the board who are not involved in the sport? This group of people give up so much of their life and a great deal of money to serve us on our board. In return they get blamed for everything that goes wrong, get told they are the reason the entry at the shows in lowering, that the membership is small, and that the breed is having all sorts of problems, due to what the board has failed to do to educate the fancy. In fact these are the people who willing give up three weekends a year to work 12 hours for us. They listen to each other, and all of us, and do the best they can to do the right thing. We may disagree with what the board does, but we should not forget that they do this for free, and in an effort to do the best thing for us that they can. For that they should get our respect and admiration, not limitations. If any board member can do all the work they do, give the time and efforts they do, and continue to dedicate themselves for our benefit, they should have the same rights as the rest of us, and that includes throwing obscene amounts of money at a handler to show at a national. I like my board members who will be understanding the problems the rest of us face. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
