I agree wholeheartedly. Pet or show owners have a vested interest in these clubs, even though they might not recognize or realize the value of these clubs. Our clubs promote, and defend the dog in society. They try through many often times expensive means to support dog ownership in both the USA and CANADA.
They fund research into various dog diseases, and promote and offer training and a venue for competitive dog sports.
