Terry and I seldom agree on things...we are in agreement on this one......Ed Hill Terry Cochran <fairway97045@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: The only way to protest this effectively is to not renew your membership. If you feel like taking on Mr. Hunte then send the letter of protest. We may Feel that he is a puppy mill others see him as a successful business man. I must decide for myself if I want to be a part of a club that supports the Hune Corp. Terry who is thinking.

Unfortunately,the application process has been changed so much,that there is going to be very little the GSDCA members can do to keep him out. Gail Hardcastle ,who was on the Board, doing membership, resigned under Ken Downing's watch. She kept on with maintaining the database,but the accepting of membership applications was given to Bill Pfieffer,the brand new treasurer,after Gene Tenges. Applications were taken online and the two signatures requirement was dropped.. Now we accept everyone without question ,as long as we get their money,no questions asked We've become as bad as the AKC--it's just the money and the numbers. Heaven forbid ,if we dare to protest, we now have to send a copy of the complaint to the applicant BEFORE there is even a hearing held. So I'm afraid unless Dania gets many letters,written on regular stationery,and signed.and the BOARD( _board@xxxxxxxxxx (mailto:board@xxxxxxxxx) ) get hundreds of complaints via email. Nothing will happen and ANDREW HUNTE will be welcomed into our club. I'm ashamed of what little power the members have on this.
