Thank You Linda,

I would like to add that I totally agree that every dog should be able to 
obtain a CGC.  Several on this list are old enough to obtain this now and 
by July even the One litter will be old enough.

So here is a challenge:  How about we all set goals to do this and get 
together in say July one weekend and in September one weekend and hold a 
test!  I will get the materials from AKC  and find a few volunteers to help 
as well as we can utilize other Brier family members as volunteers.

For those of you who have offered to help with rescue, here is your 
chance:  We will charge a nominal fee to test and the proceeds will go to 
rescue.

We could hold this test say over at the coast have a pot luck and spend the 
day just enjoying the sun and golden fun.

Gina :-)
