The purpose of the web site was, and is, to help people find information about the breed and let them know what other solidly-researched information is available, and if possible, link them to it.
Over 250,000 people have visited this site in the past year alone.* I am grateful to have the opportunity to help people by providing these resources, and hope to continue as long as I am able.
Although the website has always been registered to me and is, legally and morally, my personal intellectual property, I had donated this website to GPCC as a service to the club, allowing its use as the club website for free, and volunteering five to ten hours a week to keep it up to date for the club.
In 2002, as the GPCC board composition changed, the new board members decided they would prefer to produce a different club website, and so it is and shall be. Thus this site is now my personal website and my personal volunteer service to the breed.
I might add that in November 2003, because I had earlier placed a notice on this website that the GPCC board no longer wanted this to be the official website, that GPCC board voted to censure me for my impudence. I will leave it to you to decide the meaning of that vote. As for me, I continue to be devoted to providing information about this important and historic breed, and welcome your comments, advice about further resources and feedback on the site.
