I am embarassed enough that I pulled the GSDCA magnet off my van, after putting 
it on 2 months ago.  It could hurt my training business if any lay folk see the 
emblum and start asking about that and not my business.
   
  I am sad about that.
   
  I have kept all breed specific indications off my van forever.  But I finally 
decided that the one GSD item I would be willing to have publically seen was 
the GSDCA ebmlem magnet.  Now it is in the van, upside down.

  I think the point of the petition has been missed. It wasn't 
started by the GSD fancy...it is a public comment and points out how 
badly we are
viewed, as a club, for allowing this man into the club. No, the Board 
isn't obligated to care about it...but we should all be red-faced just 
thinking
about it. I can't remember any other breed club ever coming under such 
an onslaught from the fancy at large...and that's all we need to know.
When the GSDCA is being discussed on the editorial pages of Dog News 
(the only publication to put out an issue since the January Board 
meeting), we can expect it in every other magazine as well. When the 
GSDCA is a hot topic on every breed club list, on all breed lists, on 
obedience lists, rescue lists, lists that discuss judging and judges, 
and at every gathering of dog people in the country, it is time to pay 
attention. Who cares if the petition is valid...its very existence 
shouts at us that something is wrong.
When we then learn that several Board Members don't want to get 
involved, we should all be taking a good look inward at our club...and 
at who we elected to run it. We need to look at our AKC Delegate (and 
please don't call him a rep, he is our delegate) and his behaviour with 
regard to this matter...we need to look at our Board Members and how 
they voted in January, and pay attention to whether any of these people 
will step up on February 27.

This thing has been going on for a month now...it is embarrassing 
to everyone in the club, or should be...and it is just wonderful for the 
Animal Rights folks, because they can see now that we have our 
collective head up our butt and don't know what is going on!

Let's concentrate on one thing...getting rid of Andrew Hunte for 
once and for all...and then, let's get people on the Board who will have 
some convictions, and the courage to act on those convictions and stand 
behind them, not decline to participate!
