I was quoting someone else with that statement. Of course I am a member. So long as I enjoy the breed, I will support my club. I may not show at some point,and eventually I will not be breeding, but I still will support the parent club. They provide the basis of our breed, and in return for the work they do, it is little enough to be a member. And, judging is an AKC thing. I don't believe you have to be a member of the GSDCA to judge in AKC shows. Evan In a message dated 5/22/2014 7:17:41 P.M.

I understood in order to judge GSDs you needed to be a member of the club guess I heard it wrong. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
