I will go on record here. I have been a parent club member for over 30 years. I have been on the board. I have bred some good dogs. I have judged a few shows. I am not qualified to judge a National. I never have been, I do not think I am now, and I doubt I will ever be in the future. I also will never run for the board again. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
