Peggy, You are so right about the AKC & money.  A bit ago I rec'd an email from 
Carmen.  It was stating that he wanted to know the Reason Top Show People/ 
Breeders are entering less shows.  The email gave references to AKC's concerns 
about the decline.  It even had a graph about the decline.  I emailed everyone 
back with my "thoughts"...only to receive back a nasty email stating that I was 
Wrong!! Not from Carmen, but one of the persons it was sent to.  This person 
was a TOP, Top Handler.  It was my first ever experience with this Handler's 
nastiness, but I found it interesting that that handler would even give my 
thoughts the time of day.  Kinda made me feel like that handler Did realize 
that some of my thoughts were correct.  
 
But, AKC wants money.  Pretty much, anyway they can get it.   
 
We, the GSDCA members, Still NEED to Stand UP and Fight to get this MESS 
CLEARED UP.

    Let' me make one  thing perfectly clear.  The seminars were held at 
the instigation and with the encouragement of the AKC.  Ask me why.  
I'll tell you and not wait for you to ask.  It is because the AKC has 
lost so much money from low registrations, that they proposed to the dog 
fancy a couple of years ago that we embrace the "commercial breeders."  
This term was coined, in fact, after the AKC said we should welcome the 
large volume breeders.  Hunte was at the top of the list of the people 
AKC wanted us to welcome into the fold...all so that the AKC could get 
more registration money.

    For the same reason, AKC decided this past year to enter into a 
contract with Petland...the idea was that AKC employees would go to the 
Petland stores and instruct the sales personnel how to get the puppies 
registered (with AKC, of course) before the buyers left the 
stores...because many people don't send in their registrations.
   
    The only reason AKC loves Hunte is because his business represents 
(AKC hopes) more income for the AKC.  The Petland thing was because so 
many of the puppies there don't get registered, and some that do don't 
get AKC registered...they come from puppymills and are registered with 
all sorts of bogus agencies.

       THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why the seminars took place at 
all.  Otherwise, Hunte employees have a one week course in how to tell 
one breed from the other, etc.
and the rest is baloney. 

          I am not the only person in the world with this knowledge.  
This information has been all over the dog magazines for the past few 
years, since AKC first started telling us we had to love the large 
volume (commercial) breeders...and no one is buying it.  Oh, excuse 
me...apparently there are a couple of German Shepherd Dog Club of 
America Board Members who bought it.......

       It's all about the money.  Maybe one or two of our Board thought 
some of the money would trickle down to the GSDCA, too.  I'm not buying 
that, not for a minute.
Then again, there are those who will do anything for money.  I'm not 
calling anybody any names, but the W word comes to mind.........

    If there are other people on this list who read Dog News, Show 
Sight, or the Canine Chronicle, or who are in touch with the dog world 
outside of this breed, they will back me up on this...all this stuff 
about Hunte was well known and widely discussed.  Our club letting him 
in has started it all over again.
