The effort put forth in this well written letter shows their desire to champion issues that affect the breed in a proper manner. I love the letter, and love the action itself and am very greaftul they took this action in this manner. My response was not in any way a criticism of anything related to that action I thought it was beautiful as done. My response was to a subsequent post that said maybe we should distribute the letter to pro handlers. I felt most pro handlers know what is right and wrong and just don't care so that would not help. I thought pressuring the Cavalier breeders and owners who employ them to make it clear as the one hiring them how to show Cavaliers would be more effective. Frankly many of the well known breeders just don't care either as long as they win. Thats a point of impact we might be able to affect because they are seeking the wins to be noticed by their peers. If their peers frown on their path to victory when done improperly it might help. You are right though that last paragraph would have sufficed. As for the bad hair day... have you seen my hair lately Judy? If you have send it home please it is missed. <G> Dave CastleMyst Cavaliers http://members.aol.com/CMystCavs ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
