I'll use these two posts also to make a small point.........<G>
The DIFFERENCE of course is that the Judges are choosing to put those dogs
with functional faults UP.
THAT......... is not a MANDATE from our Parent Club to be accepted and rewarded.
BIG difference!!
To utilize that as an argument for mandating that German Shepherd Dogs with any
disqualifying fault can win the HIGHEST AWARD at our annual National is just
moving
the Breed into another problem that will take forever to resolve.
Instead of sticking with trying to solve a simple problem we are taking a huge
step backwards.
Hope some of you took the time to peruse this web site. AND we all know we
have seen
even worse as AKC Reg. German Shepherd Dogs. This is just on color......think
about what
else could happen with jaws, ears, etc.
Are you SURE this is what you want the general public to see as the TOP HONORS
at our
National. THIS is why it was disqualified. Not because a white dog is
horrible.....but
because of what people do with it. Check out this web site.

We are talking about the German Shepherd Dog Club Of America, Inc. giving one
of it's
HIGHEST AWARDS to any dog that is AKC Reg. as a German Shepherd Dog!!!
No matter how much we all admire the white GSD and how nice the owner breeders
are....it
will only work to this end in many cases. THEY are better off with
separation also for the
sake of their own hard work than to end up like this. IMO.

Now who's "fault" is this? It's certainly not exclusively the breeder's
fault. If judges refused to reward dogs with *serious* faults of movement or
rotten temperaments, do you think that any breeder, in his right mind, would c
ontinue to breed dogs with these faults? I doubt it. Who *purposely* sets
out to breed "losers?"
BTW, please pardon my using Kathy's post, regarding Whites, to segue into
another subject;
I just felt the need
to do so.

Some people breed for the excessive , faulty sidegait, I am sure nobody
breeds for missing teeth,
intentionally, lolThe point is, some very serious faults are often rewarded
at even our highest level ..
our Nationals..whether intentionally bred for , or not. So when you see a
dog that drags its insteps
and looks like a "can of worms " going away, our runs downhill to the point
of pounding..where is the
outrage then?
Maybe we shouldstart simple, with the problems some of the supposedly "more
acceptable "
colors already have?
