Much has been asked concerning the tremendous drop in membership,
thousands in the last decade. Who would want to be a part of something
wrapped up in fighting for power, negotiating for wins, stomping on the
person "in your way", ad nauseam ? The younger (in time) members are
dropping out. I would, too, if I didn't have 47 years invested as a member;
however, I am going to stick it out because I hold the, perhaps delusional,
hope that our membership will put a stop to the denunciation and abuse
of people like Margey and Jamie, as well as others, who have given so
much of themselves and have done their utmost to work for this breed.
There has been in-fighting in the past, but nothing so vicious as what
we are seeing now. It was bad 35 or 40 years ago ( I don't remember
the exact year ) when AKC disallowed our national. The thought has
occurred to me that perhaps there is a group who want to do that very
thing, make the dissention and strife in this club so volitile that AKC will
again disallow our national, not for this year as it is too late for this
year,
but for 2008 in Beaumont.
Give this some thought. It could very well happen if we do not put an
immediate stop to this insanity. With elections so close, please, everyone
vote with the future of our club, not personalities, popularity, name
recognition,
or personal gain, foremost in your mind..
