Hey it's only Jan why wait till Aug or Sept to bitch about the Natl get a head start. It is important to realize the National complaints are bifircated. We are required to complain after the National as to what happened, then early in the year, we can bring up things that we think are going to be a problem, but we haven't seen yet, or been told about. This is known as "free-complaining" and is always in late January or early February. The official and serious complaints are to be started no later than 65 days before the date of the first dog is brought into the first class at the National. That is when we are to include such things as rumors about the judging, lies about who is going to win. what we plan to do while not going, and why we will never attend another national. Don't forget, the bitching about our board was less than normal this year, and we all need to keep up our end of this List. Like the Review, it is up to you to support the activity and in America bitching is a privilege and an obligation. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
