While we are asking the question " how the DQ for white dogs being removed is going to be a plus for the GSD" Can we also ask the question "How is registering imported Berger Blanc Suisse, a different FCI breed, as an AKC GSD's good for the GSD" The GSDCA, as the parent club DOES have a voice in this....... but only if they choose to exercise that voice. Do we turn a blind eye to what is happening or do we do something about it now? Maybe the "white" thing to do is to release the hold the GSDCA has on these dogs and allow them to go their own way to join with the rest of the world that recognizes the Berger Blanc Suisse/White Swiss Shepherd as their own breed. Maybe then the GSDCA can focus on things that are important to preserving and improving the wonderful breed of German Shepherd Dog you all know and love.
