Giselda, It's not everyone, just a vocal few........ I do think this list is basically good............let someone be down on their luck or having hard times and watch everyone band together and help them or raise money for them.........we are like a family allbeit dysfunctional at times. We also learn so much before anyone else does about dog food recalls, hot grooming tips (which I am sure Jim & Sheree Moses could really have some cool tips to share), groomers extrordinare they are indeed!!! Training tips too! Show results which i love to read especially Evan's who makes it like you are right there at the show sitting beside him when you read them. and so many other great things. I have been on this list since the first day they started it years ago................I love it..............I don't care for some of the hurtful stuff,,,,,but i learn to delete it and read what i really like to. And if you are having a hard time breaking into the showlife, please email me privately I will help and try to get you hooked up with some great folks in your area.
