Many of those who used to be on this List and have been asked to leave are on those other lists. Few were asked to leave I think, many decided to. It makes me wonder to serve what purpose. Someone said this list is about negativity. I disagree. Few names get mentioned, situations are discussed, both club and dog business is discussed. For those that have lost animals, had a good day at the dog show, need help with a question.........I doubt they have had much negativity. The list is an entity most of the time and a useful one. Have heard there are lists where names are thrown out constantly and witch hunts occur. Proud not to be part of that......
