Oh, Diane, your WOW question is exactly what went thru my mind! Ok, Werner, you mention a "state" not a city. I know Wisconsin is not a Rhode Island size area and with what happened with the my GSDCBR through the last 15 years as members depleted for one reason or another, it is GONE now! This is awesome that your folks have the thoughtfulness to do this for our splendid dogs. How many members are you talking about? Perhaps others can take a few pointers, if you will share, so things could improve as I know they do need to improve. I'd dearly love to have a local club, or at least to be able to work with the, I think 3 or 4 others we have in this state like I used to do years ago when so active. I loved it so much. TNX for sharing.
