Jareth: Question re: the Straw Poll ""Discussion"" Section
I am confused.  In Ms. Barber's entry above, ""Let's end this foolishness, OK?"", she listed numerous ""registries"" and said: ""All I ask is that these be included in your list of ""registries"" that are willing to issue papers for these dogs! I think this is only fair .. that ALL should be represented!!"" AND in her first entry under ""Straw Poll-Discussion"" she said: ""I think that EACH registry willing to issue papers for the Shiloh Shepherd should be included!!""  

But in her 2nd entry in ""Straw Poll-Discussion"" above, she says: ""If you read this & the ISSR rules carefully, dogs that do NOT meet the specific requirements set by the ISSR cannot get BREEDING PAPERS ... PERIOD!!.""

Yes, this does seem entirely contradictory to her earlier two statements. Maybe what she meant to say was ""ISSR dogs that do NOT meet the specific requirements set by the ISSR cannot get ISSR BREEDING PAPERS...PERIOD!!!.""  If that's the case, okay, that's a rule of the ISSR and the NSBR, TSSR, and SSBA registries/clubs respect her right to determine her registry/club rules as she sees fit and are very comfortable with the idea that they no longer want their dogs affiliated with the ISSR. But how is that particular ISSR requirement post at all relevant or appropriate to the Straw Poll (i.e. the listing of registries in this article)particularly in light of the fact that Ms. Barber has already very clearly ""voted"" twice that she would like to see all registries listing Shiloh Shepherds be included?

I also respectfully support requesting that Ms. Barber calmly clarify her position one way or the other and that any other extraneous remarks (by anyone), not related directly to your specific questions in the Straw Poll, be posted in a more appropriate place.  This way, we can all view the poll results clearly and move positively and respectfully move forward towards resolution.  Thank you.Miles D."
