I've received two private answers to this and both imply that GSDCA would be dropped from the World organization if we re-accepted whites in our standard. My question remains (and why won't anybody educate me????!!!!). What would the re-entry of White GSDs into our standard do to our standing in the World organizations? What would happen to those individual who would wish to represent GSDCA in World Events? Or do we care?
