No registry, private or publicly owned, would! HOWEVER- it was done without any knowledge or consent of the membership of UWSC, it was a 4 person executive board decision- but one must admit that 4 represented (at least to when membership was public) 10% of the total membership, and often more! Most like more again, as many UWSC members will not be renewing for 2014 and even changed their breeding programs in protest... Many know especially the UKC registered WS population can't sustain itself genetically, and along with no UKC GSD to WS breedings allowed AND the big thing that there are no new single registrations into the breed anymore, even if 50 generations white to white, so that population has basically shut itself off from the world-- except that FCI BBS will be allowed singly b/c they are already registered as (Swiss) White Shepherds. So guess what- the new fad with WS breeders is to bring back an import, but the imports are all from the same lines they're already using, just the immediate ancestors are different! But then when ppl look back more than 3-5 generations in a pedigree they'd probably get to seeing it for themselves... North American bred white GSDs are behind EVERY PEDIGREE IN THE FCI BBS. > but UKC does > want to be accepted into the FCI in the near future. Paraphrased from Wayne himself from a Premier a couple of years ago: of course we do- it's been a work in progress since the AKC is considered the "national all-breed" club, being the one that can exchange (both ways) registration papers between them- even though the UKC is more in-line with registering the foreign breeds (they recognize over 350 breeds, the AKC less than 200) and have their groups divided somewhat more like FCI does. (For those who don't know, there are 8 groups in UKC but 10 in FCI as compared to akc's 7...)
