The fighting and politics are important as the club emerges as a leader in the breed clubs. We have to fight to protect out breed, our club and our members. It is not by choice, but no one ever became a leader with passive responses, (well maybe Gandhi), but no one else. I don't see the current situation as a negative situation, but one of the evils of growth and a way to strengthen our position. We will emerge stronger than ever, and set an example for the other breed clubs. Those who have been vocal and continue to be so, give us impetus to grow, and serve us well. We must not equate disagreement with dissension, it is but another way to make a point. Those who disagree with me, (no matter how wrong they may be) have a right and a duty to express themselves. It does not and should not discourage us to enjoy our sport. Party on.
