<< It's my humble opinion (and that of others) that since we pet owners are the only ones not motivated by greed or ego WE are the ones who are TRULY interested in the welfare of the breed. >> ****************************************************************************** ********************** As a pet owner and if you were a regular voting member of a parent club, how would you use your voting power. Would you vote to select judges you know little or nothing about for specialties at which you will not exhibit? Why...since this would not effect you? Will you vote to keep show dogs from being trimmed? Why, since this would not effect you? Would you vote for officers? Why, since the policies of the club do not effect you? Or do you think that you should be able to vote on all things pertaining to the breed and the breeders and exhibitors simply because you own one or two, or even more, cavaliers that will not be shown or bred. In my opinion, if a person is not a participant in some aspect of the sport of dogs, exhibiting, breeding, performance activities, he has no business helping to make decisions regarding the breed to which those who do participate must adhere. In other words if you don't have a heifer to brand, your iron should not be in the fire. Local clubs are the proper venue for those who choose not to participate in performance or conformation activities.
