Despite the poor judgment on the other party -- unfortunately Bill, you also admitted to poor judgment and therefore an infraction based upon the rules. I can't say faced with the same type of thing I wouldn't be equally unable to keep my mouth shut and not mouth off in the same way -- but as it has now made it to the GSD electronic tabloid -- well it is what it is. Remember what happened to the folks in the National incident -- one was the provoker and one was the provokee and both got nailed by the AKC... and because the GSDCA didn't act accordingly the GSDCA got a pretty hefty fine -- somewhere in the neighborhood of $2,500.00 if I remember correctly. The issue I really think is at this point is this show a GSDCA show being hosted by the regional club therefore should the GSDCA doing something or is it just the regional club's bailiwick? In any event -- anytime there's something like this that happens at a show, it's a sad day for the whole of the sport.
