I've been reading all of the e-mails regarding Mr. Hunte, and I'm left wondering how many people know him personally? Have they been to his property? Why do people want to keep him out of the GSDCA? Is that the popular thing to think or does it make us feel good knowing that he's kept out? Is this a way to attack others associated with him? What has happened to no personal attacks on this list? This is an individual who has his own perspective on things as does each of us. Let's talk about the issues that upset us and not about the people. If we want to talk about individual people, let's talk about people who knowingly sell dogs with hip and elbow, ear, temperament, or social problems. How about dogs that are sent in deplorable condition and puppies sent with parasites. I have been to kennels of "icons" who are afraid of opening the doors to the runs because the dog doesn't know what to do outside of the run. Let's not presume that we can make the breed better by keeping people and ideas out. Embrace new comers and people who are interested. Teach them what's special and unique about German shepherds. Do it with joy and enthusiasm and you can trust that your vision will endure.
