Maybe someone actually has done this, I wonder how many dogs that are being entered as a Special at our National are actually not either owned or at least co-owned by a GSDCA member? To me, that would be very silly, knowing that it is one of the requirements and has been so for a long time now. I don't see anything wrong with a "Club" award having certain criteria attached. If one does not want to belong, that is totally fine, but then, they should not expect to get the "club" award either. It's certainly not a punishment, merely a requirement, nothing else!
