Thanks, Joe, and I'd love to see a copy of the RACP publication
sometime. I'll have to admit being jealous of the national breed clubs,
like the Dals and Shar-Peis, just to name two, that have the money and
resources to do big slick glossy publications.

The GPCA has increased the budget for the Bulletin enough to cover the
basic printing improvements we needed, and for that I am extremely
grateful. It would be nice to be able to afford full process color, but
when you get right down to it, content is really most important. If not,
newspapers like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal wouldn't be
able to compete with the likes of USA Today *s*.
