Stormy here is a concern i have and maybe someone can make some sense and put my concerns to rest. I personally totally oppose PAWS. However i have a fairly brand new licensed club. I tell you we went through hoops for AKC to get our license. I have to wonder if we go on record totally opposing the very organization that we worked so hard to please if they would get angry and revoke our license. Now remember at this young of an age we are not a member club yet we are merely licensed and AKC can revoke any clubs license anytime it sees fit. So while i personally have worked very hard sending letters and opposing if our members chose to do so, could there be repercussions for a brand new club ???? I don't think anyone wants to jeopardize their clubs.........and if i knew we would be ok i would bring this out to our membership to go on record opposing it if the majority said to do so. But truthfully i fear losing what we worked so hard to attain just recently.
