The idea that only the professional breeders and show people should be on 
this list has validity.  However, you breed the dogs and you show the dogs TO 
WHAT ULTIMATE PURPOSE?  Healthy well built animals are sorely needed for Search 
and Rescue; Leading the Blind; assisting the farmer; assisting the police and 
military and myriad purposes.  But you say that these ultimate purposes are not 
the interests on this list.  I thought we had Working Dogs--but you say you 
don't want them Working!  The jobs for these dogs are anathema to you.
So--once you get them bred and shown what is it you want to do with them?  
There's nothing more thrilling to me than to see a magnificent German Shepherd 
doing the job it was bred for.  They are, indeed, magnificent moving full out 
around a ring that's large enough to clearly show what they can do.  But--then 
what?
