Thank you -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Linda Bankhead Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2014 12:40 PM To: Showlist Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Timeline and some facts January 2103 Board Meeting "Carmen proposed that the Board consider offering the “Long Coat†conformation class at future nationals and at specialty shows. There was a discussion as to whether there should be a change to the GSD Standard or whether the GSD Standard should be left as is. A motion was made to create a committee to study this matter and make recommendations. Motion approved. Proposed Chair Bart Bartley with Morton Goldfarb, Jim Moses and Carol Moore as committee members. Jim suggested to include white German Shepherd Dogs in this discussion." Sorry, I can't cut and paste from the minutes.... too long .... discussions continued, you can pull up members only GSDCA. GSDCA submitted a brand new written Standard as published in The AKC Secretary Page October 2013. (Google AKC Secretary Page, click on October 2013) "German Shepherd Dog Proposed Breed Standard Revision The Board reviewed proposed revisions to the Coat, Color and Disqualifications sections of the German Shepherd Dog breed standard as submitted by The German Shepherd Dog Club of America. Following a motion by Dr. Battaglia, seconded by Ms. Scully, it was VOTED (unanimously; absent: Dr. Newman, Mr. Gladstone) to publish the proposed standard revisions on the Secretary’s Page for comment. That complete standard as submitted to The AKC had some major flaws. Example: under color the new language stated that dogs with noses not predominantly black is a very serious fault. Under Disqualifications it also stated: dogs with noses not predominantly black. (a complete contradiction). The GSDC corrected several contradictions (like the glaring one above) that were originally submitted as published in October 2013. The GSDCA corrected and resubmitted. It was approved in May 2014, according to the AKC Secretary page. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
