listed on our permanent Conference Mailing-list:
SUBJECT : PREAMBLE 2000 WORLD CONFERENCE ?
Dear PYR-LOVER,
As we realize that not everybody is able to attend the World Conference, we
would like you to know that provision has been made for those unable to
attend.
Things you could do to support your breed !!
1. Make apology for not being able to attend.
2. All correspondence relating to the items on conference Agenda (closing
date : 1st July 00) will be received and recorded by those attending the
conference.
3. Proxy nominations will be accepted ( two persons per Country) for the
formation of World Conference Committee. Preference for this Committee will
be given to those with access to Internet.
An audio Video of the two days Conference will be made available for those
who are interested. So your name/or Kennel name will be on the audio Video.
Looking forward to your reply,
The President & Committee of the PMDC of Vic.Inc. ( Host of the second WORLD

Next letters are responses received from above circulation:
Dear Mr. Van Eck,
I regret that I cannot attend the Second World Conference and request that
you accept my sincere apology. I do join you in the spirit of comraderie
and full support of your efforts to undertake such a daunting endeavor. I'm
sure the conference will be a *smashing* succcess. :-) I look forward to
being able to attend the next World Conference and many future World
Conferences thanks to your hard work making the Second World Conference a
reality. Congratulations.
Respectfully yours

Hello: First, thank you for the e-mails concerning this most worthy event!
We are certain it will be a major success, and with our most sincere regrets
will not be able to attend the Conference. Regarding the agenda, it is a
very complete and comprehensive agenda. I would anticipate that Agenda Item
# 6, Nutrition and Health Care, would and should be a major focus of all
responsible and ethical breeders. Dr. Brown and Ms. Johnson will do a most
outstanding and very valuable presentation of health and nutritional
matters. I do hope that whomever is selected as the speaker/discussant of
Agenda Item
# 9, Code Of Ethics, presently without a listed speaker, will stress and
emphasis the absolute necessity of breeding healthy, structurally and
mentally sound Great Pyrenees. In brief, a Code Of Ethics must (!) support
breeding only healthy dogs free of major defects that are present in the
breed, including but not to limited to Hip Dysplasia and Patella Luxation.
Further, I personally do not believe known Dwarf producers nor carriers
should be used in any breeding program, and to do so must be contrary to a
Code Of Ethics. Again, thank you for the e-mails highlighting the 2000 World
Conference, and, the opportunity to comment on the proposed agenda.
Cordially,
Steve Berman,
