They don't hold elections or take petitions. There does not seem to be a membership list either. Mrs Titanium You missed all the discussion on this topic before. You don't have to be a GSDCA member to be a WDA member, but you will find many members who belong to both clubs. They have a membership list for their members, not the general public. Now, see, I learned something. This discussion is headed once more to attack the WDA and that is the wrong target. The WDA fills a need within the GSD world. I am glad they are there. It is not the WDA I have a problem with. I am glad they exist. I just wish the handling of both the GSDCA and the WDA wasn't so intertwined.
