Excellent Question Morgan....very simple answer...the BREED is bigger than this club....there are folks all over the world who care about this breed...they may have a different purpose, or standard... and the agendas may be different... but we have the most versatile breed of K-9 (wolf) on the planet.....if we screw up our club.....the breed shall carry on in spite of us....Ed Hill ----- Original Message ----- From: "MORGAN LEWIS" <shadowland22000@xxxxxxxxx> To: edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxx, campaignersgsd@xxxxxxxxx, LeBrowngsd@xxxxxxx Cc: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, July 3, 2010 8:06:35 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Fw: FYI I have a question. If all the good members leave what happens to the BREED and the CLUB. This is a damn shame that a few people can drive off so many dedicated members; when is THIS CLUB going to wake up??  Morgan Lewis, RPh.
