*Hi Jackie, Did you ever think of maybe starting a GSD club where you are, Wisconsin is a large State and could with out a doubt be home to one more club. The Wisconsin club is very nice no doubt, you did motion cost, a 2 hour drive would be very expensive plus $78.00 dues and $100.00 dollars for training annually. There are allot of GSD's in your area. Heck you could start in some members yard. I of course would like to see you at the Big Bend club. The best to you and all you love.* I have indeed Werner, many times. But I do not understand anything about the politics of starting a club, nor do I understand how to keep one running. The formalities are very confusing to me -- Jackie Marcato German Shepherds http://marcatogermanshepherds.wordpress.com http://www.sparkly-lion.net/marcatogsd ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
