Well said. The GSDC of Atlanta just had it's umteenth match last Sunday.
Fifty years in existance! YEAH!!!! Anyway, the weather was atrocious - 98
degrees with a heat index well over 105. Hot/humid, NASTY weather not fit for
dogs nor ummmm women! LOL We had a total entry of 10 dogs/19 bitches/11
obedience entries. Is 19 four or five points in teh SE now??? Not bad for a
match. Clubs who are active are active! Those who choose not to be, aren't.
Just depends on the attitude of the people in the club.
If you need a match assignment and are willing to travel to Atlanta in March
contact me! I'll make sure the nominating committee has your name!
