I am sure you are right Evan, I believe most people give their 100% all for the breed, and wish only the best for it. But as we age and die off, and members leave, there aren't enough to replace them. It doesn't do us much good if the club gets down to only a handful of people , no matter if the are 100% dedicated or not. Our numbers are down..we need to at least slow or stop that.
