I quit the WDA due to the fact they they didn't follow the by-laws and held a meeting outside the by-laws to vote out Ken Downing as president. I don't know what happened after that, since I have not been a member since then. If indeed the AKC will no longer allow the WDA, then perhaps the GSDCA will have to cut them loose. It would be a shame as I support the rights of people to do what they want to enjoy the breed. But, I also recognize that if a group does not follow the rules, there must be some consequences.
