This doesn't surprise me. I had mentioned this a week or so ago when we were commenting on low membership. When we bought our GSD 3 years ago it was exactly this...no one responding. I have to say I am glad it's not just the GSD people. It appears to be rude people in general. BUT, when you are looking for a certain breed you don't know that and you assume it's just that particular breed as we did.
