ODD that they get "so much press" also. You never see such large photos of our American show winners ( even from the National ) and you never see TWO photos of some of our AKC winners......unless it is a paid for Ad. Now we have a white one getting free press from us on the flyer for a Membership application to join our Parent Club. No Champions, no AOE's...no Selects no Grand Victors...but a DQ is featured!? Have we totally forgotten our Mission Statement for this Breed? Not a huge encouragement to some of us ...... Kathy Tank's article about the relationship between her darling daughter and one of their dogs is a beautiful appreciation for our Breed and what they are capable of. A breath of fresh air...

Money is always an issue for me and I have been a member for fifteen years. What's up with the ad for Siver and White dogs? It was Shocking to see. And let me just say I love a good german dog .. But the majority of what was in the back of this last review was god awful.I showed one picture to my husband and said look what do you think. And his responce was OMG look at those backs and could some ome buy them a croup! My thoughts exactly.
