Come on Norma, don't rain on us too! Good will and enthusiasm can move mountains. Agree that a 'petition' sounds negative so how about a 'request list' from lovers of the breed to the powers that be in both venues? And I know that it would work, based on my 50+ years in showing dogs...we just have to see if there are enough dedicated, well-intended fanciers out there that care enough to make the effort. Remember that all journeys begin with the first step. And if we don't decide on a general date and locate a possible and do-able site...then it can't move forward. I will do whatever the majority of the people would like, in any way I can. Being a life long dreamer, I know that dreams can come true if a person truly wishes it. Or, we can just settle down into the old way that seems to suit so many.
