We, the undersigned Dogs West members, formally call for the suspension of Champion Class implementation until a transparent, properly communicated, and fully informed voting process is conducted.

This petition is for current financial members of Dogs West only.

Key concerns include:

• Major national structural reform was determined with participation from only approximately 14.4% of eligible members
• Many members were not provided with sufficient prior notice, detailed information, or clear explanation before voting
• The complexity and long-term impact of Champion Class reform warranted broader consultation and stronger member engagement
• Cultural issues within the sport cannot be properly resolved by structural change alone

Accordingly, we call for:

• Immediate suspension of Champion Class implementation
• A formal review of the voting, communication, and consultation process
• Clear educational materials and practical implementation details before any further vote
• A revised national voting process following proper consultation
• Consideration of alternative or incremental reforms with less disruption

Major structural change deserves more than procedural validity — it deserves informed member confidence.

Please sign only if you are a current financial member of Dogs West.
