PS: Blanche was a great lady ! She was such a purist, she wouldn't tape ears on a puppy. She told me once she had an entire litter of ears that did not stand, and would not tape them.

I have to think long and hard before renewing next year. I remember when I first called to inquire about membership. Blanche asked, "YOU DON'T BREED WHITES DO YOU????" More like demanded, I guess she was getting hard of hearing. I have nothing against whites, my point is the rules, the standard MEANT something. If I didn't follow the rules, it was very clear to me, Blanche wasn't going to send me an application. VERY CLEAR. I wonder what my Connie Beckhardt, Lamar Kuhns or John DeHope would say about all of this inclusiveness???? Never mind trying to answer anybody, I KNOW what they'd say...can almost hear John's big voice booming over my phone now. I sure don't like the way this club is going..... But, the good news is I'll enjoy my dogs, club, no club, no matter.
