So are you saying that a member who does not show in the Nationals does not know enough to vote? That would also leave you out. When did you last show at a Nationals or attended one? I stop showing when I started judging (I feel it is a conflict of interest) but I am very involved with promoting the breed. I belong to 3 specialty clubs, an AB club, have been futurity Chairman for our Futurity last year. Show Chairman of the GSDC of LA for more year than I care to count. I go to at least one futurity every year, attend the US Nationals, attended the last 4 Canadian Nationals. Yet, you do not think I should get to vote. If that is the case then please list the reason you think I should be a member of the GSDCA. Lee Brown **************Get the Moviefone Toolbar.
