Molly.......that is the BEST STATEMENT I have heard on the List for a long time!!! Without Stormy we would have so many bad laws restricting our ability to even own two dogs let alone breed and show!!! We owe her all the credit we can give. She is truly amazing and it's the kind of hard work that takes hours and hours and goes unnoticed by many. ALWAYS read Stormy's posts. They affect ALL OF US EVERY DAY!! When she asks for help and responses and letters and phone calls......respond to that...or you may not have your beloved dogs in no time! She works diligently to help US!!
