WHY....do so many list members when posting about what the bylaws say with regard to membership requirements, ignore "shall subscribe to the objects of the club"? Section 2 Objects (a) says "To encourage, promote and improve the breeding of quality purebred German Shepherd Dogs"... Is there anyone, even the "Yes" voters, who really think encouraging the breeding of thousands of puppies by puppy mill breeders so he can then re-sell them to pet shops, fits the objects of our club as clearly stated in the bylaws? -- Linda Kofstad ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
