For human hair testing the cost is about 75-90.00 with 75.00 being the most common. So figure that cost into the entries. If entries cost more, oh well, because Kathy is right, don't care about the other breeds, this is the breed we have chosen and it is our Nationals. Do what you want with the guilty, if they were worried about making a living they should not be cheating. Kathy is right, take the award away and everyone knows why.

We are talking about leaning up our own breed, at our Nationals. ost is being researched, etc. here will be no punitive measures, to individuals...at least not at this ime. We think we would be better off having the dog's award revoked. It ill be very clear who is guilty. When you start suspending people, you get nto things like "taking away ability to make a living, etc" (not that I ouldn't do it to them in a second) but revoke the award. The rest will peak for itself. athy ttp://www.victorygermanshepherds.com ome of : H. Elvaston's Nations Cup TC, 26 BOBs H. Victory's Leviathan H.

Would the GSD CA pay for it, or is it coming out of entries or out of owner's pockets? Who's at fault if someone is busted, the handler, the owners, the doubler (just kidding)? What's the feeling if other clubs decided to give the GSDCA heck for trying to implement this. In breeds such as Poodles and some terriers, virtually ALL the dogs are colored or fixed and in some cases drugged? Just some questions.. BTW: Did you know you can fix Dalmatians too? Let's see, I have seen tails fixed, ears fixed, pigment tattooed and spots enhanced including someone some years ago who was busted for adding spots to their dog at the National...
