By the Way Carolyn, I am proud of having the spine to stand up and "make all this noise" if it betters our breed, protects it, and protects exhibitors. So yes , I am guilty as charged. Sorry if you don't llke that.... However , what I don't do is EVER purposely take a private conversation or beef with someone, PUBLIC. I don't run to my friends complaining and i certainly DON'T GO TO THEIR FRIENDS AS YOU DID APPARENTLY DID AS i WAS TOLD, TRYING TO START AN 'ISSUE " WITH THEM , BY COMPLAINING ABOUT A PRIVATE BEEF. IRONICALLY, NONE OF THESE PEOPLE HAD A CLUE WHY YOUR WERE CONTACTING THEM????BECAUSE AGAIN AND READ MY LIPS HERE.....NO BODY WAS PRIVY TO MY OPINIONS OR MISGIVINGS TOWARDS YOU...EXCEPT ME, YOU AND OF COURSE MY HUSBAND WHO WAS WITH ME IN CANADA. MY APOLOGIES THAT CAROLYN HAS DECIDED TO TAKE A PRIVATE CONVERSATION PUBLIC, TO THIS LIST AND ALSO TO MY FRIENDS. It was meant to be a conversation between us, only, and until she posted...was just that. Kathy Tank.....
