Like i said before, I am not spewing this info, for the sake of an AKC complaint or action. I am on public record that i will not pursue that path as it does not jibe with my personal belief system on how to handle this. However,if there is an issue with the AKC or the GSDCA,all i can do is to tell the truth and provide the evidence and deal with the consequences. No Problem. My honor and integrity will be kept intact in either case. If the club is hurt, i'll feel sad, but i don't feel responsibility as i did nothing wrong in my mind and my intent was certainly not to hurt the club.

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.
