As a member for 42 years (40 on the records, they lost 2), this may come as a surprise to some, BUT.... it's not about what the club can do for me, it's about my love for the German Shepherd Dog. New Thought? My membership insures there IS a German Shepherd Dog, a Standard, a group of people to protect the dog, a group worried about the health of the dog, people dedicated and with the one goal of making this animal formost in their lives. That's why I join the German Shepherd Dog Club of America. Better said by JFK, but IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THE BREED. Put your money where your mouth is, join, not for you, you dog. Helen Franklin 42 Year Member ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
