I thought that this was a no-no. With all that is going on, how much more of a split can the GSDCA handle? Instead of banding together, in house fighting. You want new people to join, if they see this, they will be running for the hills saying......NOOOOOO! Those Dog People are nuts!! I thought that as Breeders, Handlers, Obedience, Rally, Schutzhund, Agility etc... Whatever people decide to do in regards of PROMOTING the German Shepherd, WE are the AMBASSADORS. Instead....hurtfullness and bad feelings. I do not breed, but I do know that in Obedience if you NQ, it is Handler Error. The dog is doing what you want them to and trying it's best to please, but as it's Handler, the dog missed it's que due to the person. Showing is a Sport, correct? As with any Sport, do the clubs win ALL the time? I don't think so. Good example.......THE CUBS! AND... I am a life long fan! PLEASE ...is this what the Hunte affair has done to people? Regards!
