Evan, thank you for your kind words, I do appreciate it. Nancy From: ELG440@xxxxxxx [mailto:ELG440@xxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, February 24, 2014 6:14 AM To: nancy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; inquestgsd@xxxxxxx; pagairs@xxxxxxx Cc: farmdogforever@xxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: It it time to admit a mistake And the hard work of those who gave up their time. Nancy is at the top of the list. The Centennial was great, and a tribute to our breed, our club, and our board. I do think concerns about the World Trial limited what we did, but as always, our National was great fun. I have for a long time thought it was time to cut loose the WDA, but always felt it might be because I am only interested in conformation. Now I am sure it is also due to what has happened to that organization. When they threw out Ken Downing as president without a valid meeting, notice to him, and so that they could do whatever they wanted, it was the last straw for me. Now it should be the last straw for the GSDCA. It was a great experiment, but one that did not work. The WDA has now become a problem for us, and it is time to admit it. The AKC will allow the clubs to do bite work, so perhaps we should incorporate that in our club and stop supporting an organization that has such contempt for the GSDCA. Evan L.
