WOW -- Your two sentences below, Ellen, have me wondering and confused about their true meaning compared to the your other posts on this thread. I don't know where you are but I think there is a big need for educational activities there when you admit that most people in the all-breed club refuse to believe problems with legislation etc. I can see in just my mind's eye, all kinds of immediate ways to turn this around in a very easy manner. Please, if you will, kindly explain your strange statement to us Listers that you are totally against fostering. WHY? The WOW I'd love to see is W ords O f W isdom!

That is the mind set (most dogs in shelters are pure bred) I am totally against fostering.
