Idiots ,fools, and politicians...what do these three groups have in common?...they can all show dogs in conformation or obedience...currantly showing a dog does not make you neccessaily qualified to run for the "big 18"...the reverse is true as well..not currantly showing a dog does not mean you are not qualified to run for the "big 18"........Starkist does not want Tunas that look good....They want tunas that Taste Good...we need folks with a background in the breed , with a bit of intelligence and the ability to communicate ideas while at the same time having the ability to ACTIVELY listen to the views and opinions of others, I think this currant Board does this very nicely...this is a club about "dogs"...its a passion to a great many of us....but no one here is discovering a cure for cancer...sometimes we need to step back, relax and...chill out...and if we are very lucky Our life will go on!.....Ed Hill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
