I am in no way suggesting that we change our requirement to be as stringent as the PCA -- I'm just pointing out that there are Parent Clubs out there that do have far more stringent application processes -- and that they are approved by the AKC. One more thing that might be a consideration to think about -- what do you hold more value to - Something you had to work at to get or something that was as simple as clicking a mouse and charging a credit card?
