It is with sadness that I am completely removing myself from the GSDCA and soon to be the List after this most recent decision voted on by the Board. In the 11 years I have been involved in exhibiting and breeding GSDs it has been one huge disappointment after another. Had I known when I joined the parent club that we would support a man such as Mr. Hunte, I would have never spent the time, money or effort in being a part of what I thought was an amazing group. There are plenty of people that I would like to thank for all that they taught me, especially regarding their ethics. I will do so privately and not waste anyone else's time. I thought this was something that I would be able to pass on for generations, but I'm tired and I'm disgusted in what the board members have done over the past few years. There are plenty of wonderful people out there in this breed, and I wish you the best and continued success with your beautiful animals. I am going to curl up on the couch with mine and enjoy them like no other! This has all become simply too much for me to stomach.
