Fred Migliore posted this on another list. I think he really puts it in
perspective.

>As a board member I voted in favor of the white GSD being eligible to win
our highest awards. Since I have heard from a few people[often] that it is
up to the board to protect the integrity of the conformation standard when
handing out performance awards. Now though I don't agree with that I can
understand where these people are coming from. Lets take a hard look at it.
Can a dog born with one testicle win that award? Can a dog with 3 or more
missing teeth a dog with a wry bite a dog that is undershot or overshot
win?
Can a dog who will herd sheep but will not pass a temperament test win? I
could go on but I am sure you can see where I am heading. So now we are
faced with some choices 1 we can have all dogs checked by a Vet and a
Conformation judge before giving a performance award 2 Make it easier only
award
performance top honors to conformation champions. 3 allow any purebred GSD
registered with the AKC to be eligible. Personaly I am in favor of #3 which
is
where we are right now.
Respecfully
