Why I like the Review: 1. The win pictures, yes can be an advertisement for the owner/owners, however for me it lets me see a picture of the dog/bitch and some I may be interested in or have heard of and there is a picture of them for me to see that otherwise I might not ever see. 2. Ads are great especially if they have a pedigree, when I am looking for a dog to breed to I like to research the bloodlines and keep my reviews and go back as far as I can and find the pictures or the continuing pedigree of bloodlines. The review is like a research tool to me anyway. 3. I use to enjoy the critiques immensly I know its only a judges opinion but its the opinion on that day, especially the national critiques. I really wish they would come back. 4. Articles on health, breeders, genetics, performance, training etc use to be very valuable info. The review in the past couple of years have been disappointing in content, maybe its the economy, I don't know. I know that I personally can't afford a colored ad and when I do advertise it is in b/w. Is technology hurting the review, could be. Is there a way that when we renew we could check for an on line review or hard copy, on line slightly cheaper. I don't know just throwing out thoughts. I would hate to see it go to bi monthly but would be better than quarterly.

Judges critiques.� The eview is loosing money do to a lack of member advertising.so there or there� is not much money for Articles. This has become a vicious circle.� People are not advertising� (for a ariety of reasons) so the Review is not making money so the extra articles eople want can not be supported. This equals� advertise more and get the rticles you want I know I am a non member who should not have a voice or an� opinion so elete my posts sally On Mon, Jan 31, 2011 at 12:37 PM, Jessica MacMillan spotted101@xxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > Nobody loves dog magazines more than I do, but I have been very disappointed in the last couple of Reviews, both for ads and article content. What good is a dinky monthly Review when it only takes you 10 minutes to read and costs the club so much money?
