I have worked for the GSDC of A since I joined back in 1975. It is something I enjoy doing, and I hope you all find something useful in my efforts. It makes me sick and angry to read the list and see the complaints and petty arguments that go on. It was not like this 30 years ago. I wonder what has changed?? The good feeling of friendship is pretty rare, now. Perhaps we should all take a good look at ourselves. Just us humans, our dogs would be ashamed at the petty backbiting that goes on. I am always pleased when someone gets a really nice dog. It's good for the breed. Why not help each other and the newbies instead of snickering at their newcomer errrors?
