Louie, love you but you got it wrong Many people are not renewing because they flat out don't have the money. But I bet they will continue loving their dogs, keeping informed on what's happening, and promoting the breed. Thus supporting the breed. Some got sick of the politics and are not renewing, but I bet they will continue loving their dogs, keeping informed on what's happening, and promoting the breed. Thus supporting the breed. There is more than a handful of ways of supporting the breed. Its not your place, or anyone's for that matter, to pass judgement. I am renewing my membership because I want to and I can. It is truly that simple. I don't expect a medal of honor for doing so. Maybe this is an example of why people are just sick of it......<G> * Ileana * Inquest GSD's, Home of : 2 x Sel EX AM CH & Sel CAN CH Karizma's Cacique of Inquest TC, aka DEXTER Kaleef's Expensive Date (major pointed) aka JACKIE Inquest Huckleberry Fun - That Hot Black Dog aka HUCKS Inquest Doc Holliday - aka DOC and Bunny, aka Her Majesty, aka THE BOSS In a message dated 12/19/2010 4:01:07 P.M.

I don't believe anybody said if you don't belong to the club you are not supporting the breed and what you say you are doing is definitely supporting the breed. Belonging to the club is definitely another way of supporting the breed as among many other ways. All the business done by the PC is what helps promote our breed along with the regional clubs and in many other ways As far as using the famous quote of JFK. understand that several people have said the reason they will not rejoin the club and I quote "what has the club done for me". DAAAUUGH !!! First of all what have you done for the club. You know what, just being a member is doing something for the club and if you care to, an have the time to get more involved the opportunity is there. Hey Gerald you really should change you attitude and remove that chip off your shoulder and hope you support the club and be Merry and have Happy Holidays _________________Louie -----Original Message----- From: GSDShowMan@xxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2010 11:42 AM To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: another view Well here is my View............. OMG I am sick of hearing that if you don't support the GSDCA you don't support the breed. What a bunch of propaganda CRAP.............. We get up every day and take care of our dogs needs. They are loved and played with and provided any medical needs that arise. We enter dozens a shows a year and have finished several Champions, If thats not supporting the breed then I guess thats to bad. And to compare JFK's statement about the Country to the GSDCA makes me want to vomit. Its a freaking dog club..................... Not the United States of America............ If you want to be a member then do so if you dont then DONT.......... But for people to try to push some kind of guilt trip about not supporting the breed if your not a member of the GSDCA thats just flat out a bunch of BS. Get over it......................
