The ONLY part I do not understand is - The GSD Standard is NOT the Holy BIble, which has NEVER been changed / re-written since it was meant to be one way. HOWEVER, the AKC permits breed standards to be changed. If a breed standard is suppose to be the "blueprint" for the GSD, how can it be permitted to have changes done to it? I am guessing because things change over time; such as genetic tests, DNA tests, and things are brought to light which may have been viewed as bad in the past. If, one day, it is discovered that the color sable is the cause of DM in the breed, would you have the GSD standard changed to DQ them? The standard that is the blueprint for the breed and needs no changing? Of course, this scenario is just an example, and in no means sables are the cause of DM. Barb Hively - PA DNA.

However, will never be able to get the narrow minded folks om see the light, IMO. Honestly, it seems that they do not not want to risk he chance that someone, outside THEIR circle, may actually join and be an asset o the Club. Or, win at THEIR shows. Hence - this is why very few new GSD wners participate in the Club or at shows:(Barb Hively - PANA.

As Doc Zoe pointed out, the $36 membership rate was riginally meant to entice WDA members to join, or for lapsed members to e-join. So the white people were smart enough to think about taking advantage f it; they are German Shepherds, whether they show in our conformatio n rings or not. After all the hate and discontent that's been spewing, I can't imagine why they'd want to be part of this club. Some of the posters have had me e-thinking my priorities in life, I have to remind myself that they are merely (very) vocal minority and not representative of the vast majority of the embers.And maybe I'm just confused, but I re-joined FB a couple of months ago ecause of the rants about "German dogs are going to take over the club" and the BOD secretly wants to change our standard to mirror the SV" ....... all hese supposed agendas.....well, they don't have whites, right? So which is it? Maybe it's not a conspiracy, just the BOD trying to get all GSDs in the club; Colored, white, AKC, Imported....it's one breed....our club isn't alled the Colored German Shepherd Dog Club, or the American German Shepherd Dog club. We are the GSDCA, and, theoretically at least, all flavors are eligible. =================================== =======================================POST s Copyrighted 2014.
