Didn't mean for it to sound like holding dog shows was the only purpose...it can be one of several things listed under purpose....Usually the "purpose category" starts with something about promotion and protection of the breed... or pure bred dogs if it's an all breed club.

If "holding dog shows" is their purpose, what happens if they can't hold dog shows for a while due to many factors. The more general (vague LOL) the purpose is, the better. GSDCA is now a c7, but during the last BOD meeting, different "c' options were discussed. I think that decision went to one of the committees:-) to bring back to the BOD.
