Totally agree, Evan. Stop the madness. The GSDCA WAS a breed club; we
cannot be all things to all people.

To me, the problem has been the way the WDA was established. For years the
GSDCA supported them, while they used all German dogs to compete in the
performance events and claimed the American bred dogs could not do it.
Those individuals continued to denigrate the American bred dogs, and
finally it resolved with them suing the GSDCA.
Now we have a new group to replace them called the SV, (which is much
bigger than the GSDCA, and is based in Germany). Now there is a week show
for the SV before the GSDCA National, and still the GSDCA is called upon to
support the event.
Someone needs to stop the madness. I recognize the need for the total dog,
but then the total dog has to step up and carry some weight. In looking
over the finances, there is a direct loss from the SV events and always has
been.
