I always propose all my new puppy buyesrs, and I usually get a note from the club sec before the next meeting asking me about them and she will second them.
As you have been welcomed by other exhibitors then I would get one of them that is a member to propose you and second you. sometimes in a small breed people are a bit close knit and don't realise they are acting in an excluding way.
I know that I and many other exhibitors in my breed try very hard to make people welcome, as it can be very hard feeking like your looking in to a tight knit circle, but some old hands don't even realise they come across this way being absorbed by their showing and freinds.
If your breed are so cliquiy in reality then no wonder there is only a small number of exhibitors. Now new exhibitors no breed.
Couldn't imgaine anyt9ne being in your position after four years and having bred a nice litter in our breed.
