26th Jan 2007	IMPORTANT ABNA ANNOUNCEMENT:   The ABNA proudly announces a new domain name for it's website! Please visit www.abna-info.com for all your International and US show information. All currently sanctioned shows are listed - there are many more shows in the works so check back often! There is an unfortunate situation that the American Bulldog community needs to be aware of concerning this new website and domain name. The ABNA is made up of volunteer officers and representatives. Robert Vos has been a show host, representative and officer of the ABNA for many years. As such, he volunteered to pay for and provide the ABNA with a website and domain. Mr. Vos resigned from the ABNA in 2006 while a vote had begun to remove him for various infractions of our rules including improper record keeping and the failure to send in complete show reports. He recently decided to deny the ABNA's executive board access to the site and further to make changes to the site without approval of the ABNA. We advise everyone to take note that the web site www.abna-info.com is the only official ABNA web site and to please remove any links to the old site. We are saddened that Mr. Vos will not transfer the ownership of the site/name to the ABNA which would allow us to serve the AB community with continuity, and is making changes to the old site in an attempt to upset the smooth running of the ABNA. We are sorry for any inconvenience or confusion that this change may cause to the American Bulldog Community. In our opinion, the greatest asset of the ABNA is that we are a collective voting body of volunteers and can make decisions that will have a positive affect on the breed as a whole. Unfortunately, being composed of a voting body of volunteers, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. However this link has now been removed. Sincerely The ABNA www.abna-info.com   ~ Please remember to update your links and favourite bookmarks ~ Thank-You
