Someone suggested last year that at every All Breed and specialty that we keep the arm bands and have each Exhibitor write on the back how much money they spent in that City or area to attend that show........and put them in an envelope and have them all sent to the Town Council or Mayor .....when finishing up the show paperwork. If we would even do something to that affect.......and the information was then submitted to AKC and they took the responsibility to let those Councilmen and Mayors and Senators know how much revenue ONE dog show generates for them it would begin to be an eye opener when they vote. AKC should submit that information WHEREVER they are holding a Eukanuba Classic ........especially in an area like Long Beach that always votes to get rid of breeders or anything remotely related to breeding, showing or owning a dog or cat...........

At every pet shop, at every vet's office, at every feed store. We would have to have the money deposited in a special bank account for this purpose. The superintendent at dog shows can be involved. Even at every pet shop. Syd **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.
