From what I have seen it is mostly because they no longer want to be members. I respect their right to not belong, not vote, not be part of the only Parent Club for our breed, and to not be involved in club business. That does not mean they don't love their dogs, vote in elections for President of the United States, or fail to raise their children in a good environment. It does, however mean, they don't want to be a member of the GSDCA. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Evan L.
