Dog people are stubborn,independent people,and when you get 19-20 of them in the same room,each with their on opinion, you can really understand why we do our business best in an open ,face to face meeting. Helen says it so much better than I did. She found the right words, and is so correct. We need the personal contact, and the free exchange that the meetings provide. I guess we could even have the national by video and have the judge type in the decisions too. Keep the meetings, keep on having fun, keep on laughing, and keep on.
