I guess my cross post didn't cross post. Here it is, with the miracle of Cut/paste.MJL This is very strange...I wonder how the Code of Ethics reads in the GSDCA that would allow their Board of Directors to approve this membership. As I interpret our STCA Code of Ethics, there is no way someone involved in commercial pet sales could possibly be a "member in good standing." I'd sure be interested in knowing the "loophole" that is being blamed for this situation. Shame on that Board of Directors for not standing up for principle and for their breed.
