If only someone would/could answer "WHY". Then the White GSD issue might/could take a break, a pre-spring break....... Statements like "it doesn't matter" is an opinion. A number of members would like to know "WHY". Then IF a vote was sent to the membership for a change, the membership can cast an educated vote.
