Evan, Could you explain to me why if the GSDCA is in operation to support and protect the German Shepherd Dog that is more important to have a $250,000 dog show than to spend ANY money on Rescue and Legislation? What are the priorities of the Board that is sworn to represent the membership? Joan Joan F. Fox website: http://www.campaignersgsds.com 17500 Haskins Rd.

There is only one good reason to be a member of the GSDCA. You support your breed and the organization selected to protect it. There are other things, such as award and being involved, but they are secondary. The reason to support the club is to do so in a belief in our breed. If you are doing it for your own self indulgence or aggrandizement, then find another way to do so. Maybe I remember JFK too much. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Evan L.
