I agree with Carolyn- $10,000 is alot of maembership dues- further measure
twice- three-four times but cut once- this brochure will go out to those
that are not familiar with our breed and I am concerned with some
illustrations that look like corgi rears and the standing dog that does not
look like dogs in our rings- this should not be rushed into exsistance until
all concerns are addressed-Kris
