Because the fact is no one is calling me or talking to me about it. It is all in The List. And I mean NO ONE. Makes me wonder, that's for sure. What in the world could be a hidden agenda? Personally I believe Dallas needs a club to be an advocate for the breed. The true pupose of clubs is to promote the breed. Not to put on shows, although that could be a function. Not to work people to death, although that frequently happens. In Dallas, who will be there when someone wants to know about the attributes of our breed? Who will be there to help people through their problems? Doesn't being a breeder carry with certain inherint responsibilities? If someone wants to take on these responsibilities that go with having a club, or loving a breed, why would they have a hidden agenda?
