So true. 
And being able to see the Chronicle online is  wonderful for those of us who do 
not want a stack of them at home. They  always have interesting articles to go 
with all those ads.

No, not  chopped liver; the GSDCA has become, basically, an elitist social 
club.   There is really no benefit to advertising in the Review, nor to being a 
 
member.  


The AKC awards us the truly respected, hard-earned,  and meaningful titles.  
AKC 
judges make the decisions as to who gets  those desired titles.  Canine 
Chronicles sends out their magazine to all  AKC licensed judges.  They also 
maintain the ratings so important to  those of us who aspire to Eukanuba, 
Cruft's, and Westminster.  Some of  us not only desire to defeat other GSD's, 
we 
dream of bigger things,  like defeating dogs of other breeds!!  Different 
strokes for different  folks!  How good IS your dog??  :-)  :-)

I have spent a couple of  thousand dollars on Review advertising.  I see no 
reason to continue  supporting the Review when it does nothing to promote my 
dog 
and his  campaign.  I have shared my dog with Review readers, to negative and  
positive criticism.  September will run my last ad.
The Review used  to run a free pic and pedigree of each dog as it finished it's 
AKC  Champion title.  That was a nice, supportive, thing to do for  
exhibitor-members.  Now we get nothing, unless we pay for it, for  achieving 
Championships and more!  Not too encouraging to many of the  members.

Perhaps, if the GSDCA sees fit to send the Review to AKC  licensed GSD judges, 
I 
will advertise again in the Review.  Susan does  an amazing and beautiful job.  
She deserves a better audience, also!

JMHO,  of course.

Paula, 53 days and counting
