Newbies are just that...new, I don't think they should be penalized or held back because of the fact they are new. Many have done their research and believe in being a part of the PC, to learn and grow. What happens if someone then does not have a sponsor? Kris Kudel I was a newbie, or newbier <G>, when I joined the PC. The local GSD people, who I have met at shows, matches, and one of which I had purchased a puppy from, they sponsored my application. If you are new, get involved. You are still new, but now you know some people. Besides, you wouldn't want to sign up for someone you didn't know a little about, right? Ileana God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things. Right now I am so far behind, I'll never die. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
