I tend to agree with Doris on this. There are, I am sure, any number of members of the PC whose practices most would not agree with. I don't see any rush to run them out of town on a rail. If you don't like the way the man does business, don't do business with him. The AR folks would be laughing their heads off.... they don't need to do anything, we are doing their job for them. As for "tougher" standards to get in.... try joining the Sheltie PC! ASSA REQUIRES you to have finished an "advanced" title on a dog before you can become a member. In addition to two sponsers that KNOW you personally and have been to your house. Talk about elitism! Funny... they are running $2300 short in trophy donations this year for the National......

There are many members of the PC that have occupations I find less than wonderful, but many of them are nice people in spite of that. I don't think it would hurt for us to be a bit more tolerant. Just my opinion, folks. Doris E ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
