This is a great beginning, Paul. Has there been any response from the AKC clubs at all? How long has it been since the letters were sent out? Actually, I was more considering joining forces with other groups that have joined to fight the onslaught, but the AKC member clubs could certainly be a start. I know when PAWS first reared its ugly head, SAOVA, DFOW and one other, (can't remember that one, darn it!) joined immediately and presented a very strong force. More of that is n eeded, don't you think? I think recent California travesities would have been better represented by dog groups if there were a consolidation like that, no?
