Tom - I was a member of that club for 12 years. I know exactly how the ballots and the issues were counted. It's the form of the ballot I agreed with even tho I voted each time there was a ballot. I 'll stand by my opinion that whenever this "vote" to allow AKC-only dogs is presented to the membership in ballot form, it will be defeated. Period. whatever form the ballot takes, the vote will be "against". By the way, what was the reason for your $15,000. Vet bills on your Cavalier? I commend you for making the effort on behalf of the dog, but I am curious to know why so great an expense in its liftime?
