Janet,

Interesting that these prospective clients said they would not have paid
for the F&RG but presumably would not have known about it unless told by
someone (since the policy has not been implemented yet) so I wonder
where they got the information. If it is from a breeder that is
obviously upset about the pending change do you think that the
information that was likely shared with this prospective client in a
positive or a negative manor?

Let's let this change run it's course. The Marketing Committee has
indicated that they are aware of the member's concerns and if it looks
like it is having a major negative affect on the industry it is likely
to be quickly reviewed and modified if necessary. As I understand it
there has been a tremendous influx of breeders in the last couple of
days to place ads so I encourage all that might be interested to send in
your reservation by this Friday.
