I know it's bad manners to respond to my own post, but I felt I needed to clarify this. I believe there should be educational & informational stuff on the GSDCA website available for all to see. When people do a google search, they should be pulling up the GSDCA website to find out about health issues, training issues, and how wonderful our dogs are. This information should be directed toward the general pet person. Indepth or detailed information could be referred to behind the membership wall. If you want access to articles that have been in the Review, then join. However, you could read summaries in the general area. I also believe that all advertisements should be available for all to see. Julie Degen In a message dated 8/24/2005 2:32:48 P.M.
