the biggest problem that I found with the last weekend was that we are a very small club and we paid AKC over $1000.00 dollars to hold the show The application fees were $200.00 and the rest was $3.50 per dog ....Every club is in the same position with theeception of member all breed clubs who pay no application fee and can afford that fee the most.......And AKC is constantly trying to find new ways of raising funds to charge on either registration fees or show fees Judy ----- Original Message ----- From: <tsaligsds@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <ELG440@xxxxxxx> Cc: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 4:35 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: The biggest problem is......We don't get to decide See..... now, heres the problem..... I disagree so I'd have to start my own too!! I want dog shows to START at noon so I don't have to get up at oh dark 30 and bathe dogs in the dark, groom under the stars and setting moon and sit around and wait all day for groups.......... GSDs should start at a REASONABLE hour!!!!!
