I have a question.... Why is it that before the GSD National each year, many people like to bring up controversial topics? Whether it be the National, or something else? Last time I checked, the National should be FUN... So there might be a few issues - go with the flow and enjoy it.. It's the only time one gets to enjoy mass numbers of their breed and see all their friends. Why not stop looking for something to b*tch about and have a good time? JMHO - and working on 4 hours of sleep... We came back from Kansas City last night with a specialty BISS, a Specialty Best In Sweeps, Specialty BOW, 2 Non-Sporting group II's and a puppy Group two! Not a bad weekend!
