What about the groups that want to be set free to do their own thing? They do not count?

We are going to remove a DQ so we might be able to raise the numbers in the conformation ring? Wouldn't it be better to allow the white dogs to become 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've even had a private email conversation with a board member about the subject. But after reading what Lanalee just posted shame on me. I now believe it is a GREAT thing the Board is trying to accomplish and I don't usually flip-flop that easily.Disqualifying a White GSD from being the Herding or Obedience Victor because of hair color is just plain wrong. guess I spoke too soon. I do that sometimes. Ed > ===========================================================================> > POST is Copyrighted 2012.
