I believe that to become a member of GSDCA a person should agree that they will not sell dogs to wholesalers who then sell to pet stores, or sell dogs at flea markets, or donate dogs for auction. This should be a requirement of membership. This should not be left to just signers of the code of ethics. My own stud agreement requires this of puppies sold, including the requirement that any pups not sold to "legitimate" show homes go on limited registration. This is not unreasonable. jmho, Pat Robinson ROBINHAUS ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
