Now, if we could just get everyone else, (other than the GSDCA members and supporters) to say that, we would enhance our reputation everywhere. It is unfortunate that Schutzhund USA as well as the past president of The WDA and those from other countries trying to market their dogs find it of value to try to denigrate the American German shepherds. It is tempting to return fire, but we are better served by producing the quality animals we have today, and let that speak for our success.
