Hello Norma, Your thought was lovely and I think not impossible. I'm of the "if we build it they will come" line of thought. If we can somehow get enough people interested in this I think the spirit of reconciliation will enter the right people. Those actually interested in the breed, the camaraderie we used to feel at our shows and the just plain fun we used to have. Winning is grand! Losing isn't so grand. <vbg> But my word..the laughter at those shows..the silliness...Robbie Jones pitcher of margaritas if her puppy won best puppy... So we need many people with like minds, a bit of money and a large bottle of wine. <vbg> Jo Ann
