I have to say I talked about this very thing well over a year ago and had
hoped something would come of it....I asked if we could come up with some
sort of packet or pamplet to give to new puppy owners when they get their
pup(the packet should also include a membership application). It would be a
way to get them interested in joining right from the beginning. I have had
several people join through the years but having something in writing from
the GSDCA that the breeder gives them would be wonderful.
