Style of USA - Page 2

We had no problem getting our DVG scorebooks certified by USA. It was a one time fee we paid when we attended a USA sanctioned trial, the trial secretary sent in the books with the results and USA returned them to us.

Maybe USA  seems friendlier because half of the membership isn't suing (or threatening to sue) the other half...at least not now.   But, WDA flaunts its own rules so often --just look at some of the trial results to see how that "3 dog rule" only applies to "some" people--it is no wonder that it needs to be afraid of its own members suing.   With the shananigans going on among its officers and the decline (reversion?) in quality of its magazine, what's the point?  WDA is good for those few folks who want to go to the WUSV Championship,  or just show dogs in conformation shows with no concern or interest in the legitimacy of titles.   Anyone who could actually title a dozen dogs on one day in one trial would be a guy who puts Brad Pitt's abs in Thelma and Louise to shame, can outrun any Olympic marathoner, out-box Olympic boxers, and even out-jump the Olympic horses in the equestrian events.  

Has anyone actually seen this phenomenal human specimen?   It was pointed out to me once, but there is NO WAY that was the guy!!

I did not renew my membership with the German Shepherd Schutzhund Club of Canada when it adopted a waiver requirement, despite the fact that I don't live in Canada.   Their waiver was supposedly dictated by their insurance carrier.   But, I bet no one told the carrier that there wre members who lived outside of Canada...  Oh well, I can still just subscribe to the GSSCC magazine. <sigh>

I don't wish to argue about this.  If folks are okay with it, that's the feedback I was looking for.  It's not a big deal.

As a college professor, I begin my courses with promises to my student about what they will get if they join me.

As a consultant, I begin with a statement of benefits.

I teach my business students to stay focused on benefits to users, customers, clients.

I am aware that others focus on rules, regs, penalties and costs.  That's old school, and some like it that way.  As someone pointed out, at least they're clear about how you can get yourself into hot water with them.  If USA is better than some other registries, that's worth knowing.  But they all need some reengineering, with a focus on user benefit and ease of use!

Perhaps this is what I should volunteer in that solicitation section on the USA registration form?

I really do appreciate the attention you folks have given to my concern.  Thank you.
