I have talked to everyone possible - all the way up the ladder at the AKC to Bobby Birdsong (who could care less in my opinion and considers this just a bother) - and spent countless hours working through acceptable options and presenting to both the AKC and Grand Traverse. I can't think of anything else that would get the AKC to approve Topline holding it's show at the GSDC of Wi grounds, or Grand Traverse releasing GSDs other than standing on my head naked while singing Yankee Doodle Dandy - and if I thought that would work, I'd give it a try. I'm making some phone calls this AM to find an alternative site for our show that hopefully won't be too far from the MW Futurity showsite and out the range of the Grand Traverse 200-mile radius. But the AKC will still have to approve it..... Jennifer On May 8, 2008, at 7:04 AM, Cinosam GSD wrote: > Is it too late to get the Grand Traverse KC to change it's mind?
