Hi Guys I realize all of this stuff with the AKC etc continues to be of great interest to many. But PLEASE would anyone consider just putting it aside for today.....we have lost an ICON in the breed, a friend to so many of us, and a true LADY. To discuss these other things seems so trivial at the moment, so stupid. Lets take a day, and reflect on Joan, and others that went before and their love and committment to this breed.
