We are not allowed to have shows in Indiana. Now for the good stuff. I don't know who keeps spreading rumors is wrong. We are small but we are ALIVE AND WELL. We plan on being around for many years to come. We didn't know we were such a hot topic until we started receiving phone calls to check and see if our Spring show would be our last. As all of you know entries are down all over the country and there are not only GSD Clubs, but Kennel Clubs folding all over the country. With the high cost of expenses and the lack of interest in a lot of the younger generation it has become a rich mans sport. Because of this we have made many changes in our club from the way it used to be but so has everyone else had to make changes in their everyday life to support themselves. Yes, there was a time the shows were huge but so was TOPLINE and other shows around the country. Thanks for all the concern we will CONTINUE to have our SPRING SHOW until we are to old, move, or die. THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THINKING ABOUT US WE DIDN'T KNOW EVERYONE STILL THOUGHT ABOUT US. IT WAS A NICE FUZZY FEELING. TO KNOW YOU STILL CARE. By the way Bart IS NOT A MEMBER of the KGSDC.
