The breeders in the WGSDCA & WGSDCI would show as a serious fault.   And, that 
is our right, if we so choose.   

I do not see what the issue is.  If WE (whites) are okay with the serious 
fault, how does that make everyone else feel it is a bad thing for us?

DNA.  It's what makes a white, a German Shepherd

Fact:  Some part of the white GSD people have been petitioning the Board for 
years to remove white (but not albino) as a disqualification.
Fact:  The Board cannot change the Breed Standard.  The process to change the 
Breed Standard (put out by Lana over the weekend) is in the Club�s Bylaws 
(available on GSDCA.org/) which involves a lot of petitioning of the AKC and a 
ballot to the membership.  In order to approve the Standard change 2/3rd of the 
people returning the ballot have to vote �yes�.
Fact:  The Board voted to let the membership decide because there does not seem 
to be a consensus among the members.

there own breed? How many of you enter a dog show to loose? Do the breeders of 
whites not want to prove their lines in a conformation ring? Are they all 
performance?  Do we need members so badly that we are willing to hold the white 
breeders back?  I vote to cut them loose and let them do there own thing. This 
is an attempt to placate them so they keep on sending in dues and entering 
performance  events nothing more. The GSD is standing between them and the AKC.
Like someone said, What judge would ever put them up?  So the GSDCA thinks it 
is 
a step forward for the white breeders to  be made a serious fault instead of a 
DQ after they have put in all the effort on cleaning up health issues? That 
says 
tons about us as a club.

I do know there clubs working with the Swiss White Shepherd "Blanc Berger 
Suisse" for a separate breed as UKC made them one and FCI did as Germany 
approved.
I think they felt since the GSDCA in the past followed Germany on the whites it 
would happen again.  I know the white GSD and White Shepherd clubs are divided
and since I do not own, breed or plan to I do not know what the right decision 
is.  However,  I will say when the UKC made the choice to only allow white dog 
to
white dog breeding to be registered as a White Shepherd dog I do see a downside 
to it.  A white GSD can still be bred to a white GSD but now only can be 
registered as
a GSD and can show as such.  
 
I agree with if they are made a serious fault instead of DQ do not see this as 
a 
plus either.  In the end regardless it will be up to the GSDCA voters to 
decide.  
So, I guess all members that care one way or another need to cast that vote and 
not complain when the votes are counted and accept the decision.
