Help Reinstate Spencer Bowman: A Pillar of French Ring

We urgently need your support to bring justice to Spencer Bowman, a highly esteemed dog trainer, breeder, and former Vice President of the North American Ring Association (NARA), the governing body for French Ring protection dog sport in America. Spencer was unjustly suspended following a minor argument—a punishment far too severe for the situation. Any other organization would have issued a mere warning.

Spencer's dedication to the sport is unparalleled. In his spare time, he actively helps many people train for French Ring and tirelessly promotes this small, yet beloved, community. On the brink of achieving super selection this year, nearly completing the judges program, and striving for his third consecutive championship as a top competitor, Spencer's suspension is a devastating blow to the sport.

French Ring needs as much support as it can get. As one of the best decoys in America, Spencer's absence is a huge loss. The sport, already struggling, cannot afford to lose such a valuable and passionate advocate. His suspension is not only an injury to him but also a severe blow to the entire French Ring community.

Spencer has been a beacon of excellence and mentorship, inspiring many newcomers to the sport. He has never received any past warnings and was a highly decorated member of our community. His transparency is unwavering—he has all the documentation and evidence, including a recording of his "hearing," and is ready to share it with anyone seeking clarity.

Sign this petition to support Spencer Bowman and ensure fairness and integrity in the sport we all love. Let's stand together and demand his reinstatement for the betterment of French Ring. Spencer has nothing to hide—let's bring him back and strengthen our community!

The silence from the board is exhausting but I am still sending these requests every day. I know many of you are frustrated by the lack of movement and frankly I am right there with you.

Total overreaction by the board. Spence is a good guy and a huge asset to French Ring.

THE SPORT NEEDS HIM. He is the best decoy we have and this whole situation is just petty drama that hurts the dogs in the end.
