Everyone except me of course since I had a mix. I tried taking a USDAA premium to class in hopes that we could go as a group to a trial that I could be a part of. Not a single person was interested and in fact one woman said to me, 'Oh, that's that <I>weird</I> organization' and would have no part of it. Some of the people were even having trouble getting into AKC trials and were complaining that they were #80 on the waiting list but still they wouldn't consider USDAA or NADAC (no DOCNA at the time), they'd rather not play. I thought it was a shame that the most popular organization discriminates and that my instructor didn't seem to care even though she worked for the Humane Society. I stopped taking lessons there as soon as I found someplace better.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.com
