That is a very summerised version and I am sure once the members
whom attended have 5 minutes breathing space from their very busy
lives at the moment they will tell us more. I know 3 of the collie
people whom attended have been stretched to the limit since the
meeting.

Hi Folks,

Jacqui has hit the nail on the head where she says… "Some people
have been stretched to the limit since the ACES meeting!!"

Sorry folk but the timing has not been favourable with the Royal
taking up much of our time, & as Jacqui rightly says, many of us
that attended the ACES meeting have really been stretched to the
limit of late.
However it is refreshing to see that SO MANY people have taken the
time to become informed on this very serious issue & SO KEEN to know
exactly what we are faced with in regard to ACES, but believe me, I
like many of the others are now trying to catch up and put "pen to
paper" to inform all those people that could not make the meeting,
as to exactly what transpired, as there were many important aspects
that came to light as a result of the questions from the audience.
Please be patient a little longer as I am sure you'd rather that,
than to have a rushed and misinformed response. There is FAR TOO
MUCH misinformation in regard to ACES floating around, so lets get
it right the first time around.

I do hope that what we discuss on this list stays on the list as
well. Other discussions that took place on a sheltie list were
forwarded to Dr Robertson.

In response to your comment Jackie re hoping that no one will pass
on the postings from this Ozeyescheme lists to Dr. Robertson, I see
no reason why Dr. Robertson, or anyone else for that matter, should
not be informed of the very real concerns of the purebred dog lobby.
On the contrary, I believe it would be very beneficial to the
listers if people like Hugh Gent & Dr. Robertson representing AVA &
the ANKC were to informed us ALL of the "endless misconceptions"
they keep telling us we have. It would seem that MANY people have
written to the AVA and asked for different points to be clarified in
regard to ACES, but it seems that NO ONE has EVER received a
response from them. And so if this forum can evoke some
clarification regarding the concerns we have, then we will all be
better off.

The people who are concerned enough about the future of their breeds
to put endless hours of their precious time into researching ACES
and its possible ramifications; I am quiet sure have NOTHING to
hide, hence the creation of Ozeyescheme to get everything out in the
open. This is a forum inviting frank discussion from both breeders
of ALL breeds, together with the very people that want ACES
implemented to put forward their case as to why a scheme such as
ACES is going to be so beneficial to the future of our sport. This
can only ally all the fear and concerns we have at this time.

I am working on a posting in regard to the very positive meeting
regrading ACES held on April 12th, 2007. Please be patient.
