The only thing I would add is that although the charter calls for just one club from each country, the WUSV does recognize both organizations from the United States. I understand Schutzhund USA would like to be the only German shepherd club in the WUSV from the United States, but since the GSDCA-WDA coverers all elements, we remain recognized as one of the two clubs from the USA. Just what we gain from the WUSV is something I have not determined, other than international recognition, which may be a good thing.
