There was a letter from AKC that stated that differently. They needed a letter from GSDCA not to object to the separation; The board members wrote the letter voted to send it then decided to rescind their vote. It will never end until it is brought to the GSDCA membership to vote for are against it. Is it fair to the breeders and owners that have bred white dogs to white dogs stayed with conformation of a White Shepherd not to be able to show in conformation? Should they not have a right to show at Westminster too? If the GSDCA is going to maintain their GSD Standard why not let the White Shepherd go? The owners and breeders that want white GSDs can register them as White Shepherds. Why do they want to breed a white dog to a GSD if they want white dogs? Panda's, liver, blues are all bred to sell to puppy buyers that want the various off-color pup so they are not even a issue. If these buyers wanted a show dog they would buy a dog of the GSDCA Standard.

When the membership voted to keep the white GSD a disqualifying fault that should have been the end of it. If we had voted to make the white a serious fault then maybe they would have been able to start there own breed. I could be wrong about this.
