The facts are Helen that AKC Registration #'s are down - WAY down ?? Entries at
all shows and almost all breeds are down?? There are several other venues for
exhibitors to partake in now that were not available or as popular in the 60's,
70's, & 80's.??Agility, Rally, Herding and others....?
Times change and we adapt??? BUT we still go to shows every weekend and you
know what?? We have great times with our clients and friends each and every
weekend as we show dogs or just "hang out"????
So while some things do change, some things stay the same????
You may not have meant it the way Randy took it, but I can see how it could
come across like you were being negative about one group in order to praise
another????? You didn't mean it like that - fine? Just say so and it's done?

In reply to Randy Chestnuts post below..............
I have been a member of the GSDCA for 44 years, served on the board, founder of
AOE,
and contributed in countless ways for our club.? How dare you say that I am
degrading
the parent club....uh, what have you done on the parent clubs behalf?? I am
stating
my alarm over the decreasing number of entries and size of shows.? Using Ralph's
statement, records live, opinions die refered to the non importance of your
statements
as the?numbers speak for themselves.? We must make this arena more enjoyable
and available to new people.? The only degrading I'm doing is degrading those
individuals that do not recognize the seriouness of what is happining.

REPLY: In the 60's and 70's, we had to get a second judge when the entry went
over
100.? The open class alone had over 20.? You don't see that there's a problem??
There
is a VERY BIG problem.? Shows in the U.S. that are SV shows draw over 400.?
The boy scouts are going to another venue, perhaps because they can participate
in the show.? A show of 30, total entry, is absurd.? The ship is sinking and the
boy scouts aren't around to save us.? DO THE MATH!? Records live, opinions die.
Helen
I remember with clarity the 60's and 70's.? Those were the Golden Years.? Now,
for whatever reason, those days are gone, probably forever.? Why does there
have
to be a problem?? My life, as well as most, have many more problems today?than
the good ole 60's and 70's.?
?
Personally I could care less how many participants are in the S.V. shows.? They
have nothing I am interested in.? That does not make me wrong on them right.?
It
is just the way it is!? Anyone can participate in our shows.? Most choose not
to.?
?
As for the ship sinking, maybe it is, but its my ship.?
?
Since you quoted Ralph and Mary Roberts, for whatever reason, I will quote
(paraphrase) Fran & Joan Ford.
"Shepherds don't move on their ears."? Makes no sense, but neither di
d your
quote.
?
Here is my quote "Don't build up the S.V. by degrading the GSDC of America."?
Not a nice, or positive way to cure the Problem.
