Morgan, I do believe that the Review advertising is OPEN to all breed, specialty and working dogs. When I advertise I don't advertise to try and influence judges. I advertise to show the fancy what my lines are producing and because I am proud of my breeding program. The last time I specialed an all breed dog seriously, he was #3 defeating 1000 German Shepherds that year without one ad in the all breed magazines. I did advertise him in the Review however. If a judge needs help and has to read the Chronicle to see who he should put up shouldn't be judging German Shepherds. I love to look at the ads, no matter what venue the dogs come from and All exhibitors who have great dogs, no matter where they are successful need to support our Review. I would love to see the Winner's page back, for maybe $25 to advertise titles with a picture of your dog, maybe eight to a page. A good dog is a good dog and a good judge can find them without the help of an ad.

Who is OUR?? I made a comment the other day about members advertising in the Review. Some replies were "why would any breeder of an All/Breed GSD advertise in THE REVIEW". The same applies for the working dog breeders. Seems that All the Ads are Specialty!! Are we dismissing the ALL/BREED? Are we dismissing the Working Dogs?? I thought the whole purpose of the GSDCA was to promote the BREED; that should incompass the entire BREED and all that it stands for. Will the World Trials advertise in the GSDCA. We have articles on herding, obedience, tracking, rescue, so there must be an interest in these areas. We see lots of notices of All/Breed wins on Da List GSD SITE and German shepherds4show. Any one got any idea how many All/BREED people are on the BOARD?? I don't, but have a feeling that the ALL/BREED Members and the Working Members of the GSDCA may be supporting more than their fair share of expenses dedicated to the SPECIALS � Morgan� Lewis, RPh.
