I am delifghted to tell everyone this morning, that
"The Man From Del-Monte, He Say YEAH"
Seriously, Brian Wootton has agreed to get to Crufts (although wasnt going) and represent us as Press Officer. We had a long chat, and he is not in favour of splitting the breed - for very good reasons, as good as for the ones in favour of the split (almost
) - so its all a bit of a head-banger, but I also put others points to him, which he was also interested in. Good Debate... outcome, have a word with him. He will be at Crufts, he will be by the Breed Council Stand, and I urge you all to tell your friends and others that may be asked any questions - to head them into the direction of Brian. say to everyone - that - he will only be effective for us, if he is used. Dont speak with people, and get into hot water, then send them to him, send them right away to "Our Press Officer" - and if you are not sure who is asking questions of you, send em anyway in case.
I Am going to speak with some-one who began this interesting thought - from the Bulldog people, and see how they are going to mann the position, and will be back to you all and to Brian. Incidentally, and very sadly, Brian feels that as KC Liason Officer, he has been consulted about nothing. He is more than happy to get involved in debates about various issues, relating particularly to the KC and health and the welfare of the GSD as a breed - but is not being asked to attend various meetings and not being consulted.As a gentleman, he wouldnt dreamo of asking to be there, but is available if necessary in the eyes of others.
How Sad Is That !!! Brian has a wealth of experience, is a very eloquent man that you could quite imagine could make an impression at the KC - and is willing to be involved. "Willing Workers" and all that.
As well as having no pc - and fairly recently a telephone - he doesnt drive, so would appreciate a lift to the event. Anyone near Wolverhampton? High Heath Essinton to be precise, that would give our Press Officer a lift to Crufts.
Bless you Brian, you live in another age, but are there when required.

missbeeb: You are a wise one, OUR National GSD Organisation needs very serious examination. It must become
FIT FOR FUNCTION.

Mo Lakin would be a Great Asset to our GSD Breed National Organisation.

Hi Mo
I was never in any doubt that Brian would say YES and am absolutely delighted that he has confirmed this in his reply to you MO and the fact that he is even now going to Crufts when he had obviously not planned to this year.
As for the other things you have said Mo, I absolutely agree with you. I have had a quite a few interesting telephone chats with Brian over the past year, I actually rang him before Crufts last year to ask him if he would be willing to be the 'official' interpreter for our German visitors should any situation arise where we needed one, especially as Reinhard does not speak any English. Brian was the person I wanted to secure for the job (if needed) because I trusted him emphatically.
We spoke later in the year on how we at West Yks were annoyed that as the BC Elected KC Laison officer why Brian was not invited along to the KC to take part in the discussions re - changes to the standard held in Nov08. As the Official Elected BC Laison officer to me Brian Wooton is the FIRST person that the KC should invite to ANY Meeting they have regarding our breed. He should be the First name on the list before the BAGSD rep, the GSDL rep as he was democratically VOTED for by ALL THE BREED CLUBS therefore In my opinion he is the ONLY PERSON Officiall Elected to Collectively Represent all of us at the KC.
Regards
Sue

I have permission from David Cavill to cross post thought this would tie in with this thread;
We have just been told that a lady called Dorothea Penizek will be at Crufts working for Jemima Harrison. This may be hearsay, of course, but she was reported to be at Westminster doing the same. We are told that Dorothea was registered as a reporter at Crufts last year, this year she is coming as a visitor (she is not on the accredited list of reporters this year, and will be there for all four days. She arrives at Stansted on Wednesday and is then driving up to the show. If anyone come up to you and encourages you to talk about your dogs please ensure you you know who they are. These people are clever, they will have no hesitation in taking your innocent comments and distorting them for their own ends as we saw in Pedigree Dogs Exposed. My own comments were left on the cutting room floor. However, I have some experience of the media - clealy I did not say the 'right' things __________________
