I won't be taking my magnet off my van but I will be adding a bumper stick that says something to the effect, "I don't support Puppy Mills even if my parent club does". Okay that's a little long.....I'll need to come up with something a little more catchy. For those that think I'm kidding, there is a website (I'll find it and post it) where you can have your own bumper stickers made....and believe me I will.

I will be taking the magnet off my van when it returns home with my sons. I will be unwilling to discuss the GSDCA and will not recommend it as a way to learn more about our breed. I am deeply offended by this act. After all the clear messages that have gone directly to board members and that were posted on this list. Knowing that many board members read the many many emails about this issue and did not listen tells me that the board that runs this club does as it pleases and is not answering to the members overall. There were a few who played Devil's advocate, but no one came out specifically in favor of his membership. This is very disappointing. And as someone who in deeply involved in a regional club, or 2 or 3, I am deeply hurt by my national club board's decision. While I know that resigning right now is a waste of effort, I will not be renewing my national membership at the end of the year. I will continue to work for my regional club(s) to be best of my ability, but I will not support the GSDCA in any meaningful way unless and until some sort of defination of who should NOT be a member. This is a sad day for all true loving hobby breeders and those who started out as hobby breeders and handlers and were able to make a living through loving and caring for our wonderful breed. sheila ELG440@xxxxxxx wrote: In a message dated 1/28/2007 8:27:42 A.M.

We have a new member who is deeply involved in puppies and hopefully will be a positive member of our club. We must support our board, and thank them for working so hard to make this determination. Having not heard the arguments, I will stand behind the decision, and continue to support our club. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
