Just for fun, I opened my 2004 Roster and read part of Ginny Altman's introduction........... The opening line of the second paragraph is: "The German Shepherd Dog Club of America, Inc., is held in high esteem by other AKC breed clubs...." All I want to say about that is "NOT ANY MORE." of course, I guess people can say it's OK to let Hunte into the GSDCA, because he probably brokers mostly small breeds, and after all, the club isn't here for dogs...just for German Shepherds. May I say that anyone who says that is as slimy as Hunte is. You all know PAWS is coming back, right? We may as well say to hell with it, and with fighting puppy mills, abuse, and all the bad legislation...we no longer have any right to object to any of these bad things...not as a club, not as individuals who claim membership, and certainly not as any kind of Committee. Why don't we give the guy a seat on the Board while we're at it...let him and his attorney(s) make all the decision for the club in the future...who knows, maybe he'll buy everybody's puppies and everybody can get rich on his coattails...and maybe pull in a little present or two while we're all at it. They wouldn't be the FIRST presents the man has handed out in his quest for legitimacy. I wish those who voted for this man many, many sleepless nights...how a one of them can face their own dogs is beyond me.........
