I have read the By Laws and have tried to read the hundreds of posts on this subject, and I still can't figure out why or how this was allowed. I have many friends from different breed clubs that are asking me how an why, and I have no clue what to tell them because I myself don't know. If someone could please email me privately and explain to me, this dummy would greatly appreciate it! Joanne F.
