Frankly, I didn't expect any other reply. In effect, he is calling you all liars when he says they have had a number of credible reports...implying that yours were lies. What an ass he is! As I said earlier...you guys should have called the cops at the time..now the reps will have a free hand to harrass everyone they see anytime they feel like it, and the Gator will back them up. And where, oh where, is the esteemed President of the all breed club (and she, a GSD person who has remained dead silent throughout this).........or wasn't she at the show at all? If I lived up there, there's no way I would take a German Shepherd to another single event in that building........ever. Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Becky T.
