It's amazing how year after year people b**** and complain about being a member 
and not renew.

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.

Canine  Chronicles did up a nice ad on page 175, for Harley, again, and 
there is also  a beautiful 2-page ad, on pages 62-63, of my friend, Theresa 
Royer and her  handsome boy, Flex, for all to enjoy.  Zelda (sorry that I don't 
know her  or her connections, yet) is on page 195.  The incomparable Meg is 
on  pages 150 & 151.  Hope I didn't miss any other  GSD's.

We need to ask ourselves, why these ads are in the Canine Chronicle and not 
the Review?

I am not saying I know, nor am I complaining.  But, evidently we are  
missing the boat somewhere, and should address the issue.

I would like to hear from those who have some thoughts.
