Now some of you responded. The next step is for each of you (there are over
2000 members here.. maybe 2500!), to go through this list and take a couple,
three of those that you think are most important and post them to the list.
It’s YOU that want to know about the candidates, so you need to help here <G>
(and Yes, I did that and I’ll post mine after I get some response on the list
<G>) We are going to submit 10 to them, so let’s get the best ones out there!
Storm
Do you believe the membership's wishes of having the national rotated should be
granted?
Do you understand the difficulty or have tried to fly dogs to any national? (or
anywhere??)
Would you agree to have only 1 person be YOUR spokesperson on the board?
(explanation: you send a message to the whole board posing a question and
only 1 answers you because
that is the current boards instructions)
Do you think the breed standard needs to be changed?
What would be your most important proposal to help relife the futurity system?
2.
1) How do you feel the GSDCA can bring in and support new members?
2) What strategies would you use to help unite the show and IPO segments of our
breed so that they continue to support each other and even cross over into each
other's worlds? For example, creating an award or initiative for show dogs who
acquire a BH/IPO and BH/IPO dogs who acquire conformation points.
3) Do you think there should be more of an emphasis on Amateur owners being
able to show their own dogs successfully (not every owner is incapable of
running)? If so, what programs would you support to help that goal?
4) Do you think the PAM requirements should be revisited to include other
training (not instinct) based performance avenues such as nosework?
5) Do you think the concept of the total German shepherd is being promoted by
the club?
6) Do you think the time has come to open back up the Victor/Victrix titles to
white shepherds? Why or why not?
7) Do you think there is too much of an emphasis on side gait in the
conformation ring at the expense of other traits? If so, what are your
recommendations to solve this problem?
8) Do you think all dogs competing for a Select rating should hold a TC? Why or
why not?
9) Do you think the AOE should require a performance title that involves the
dog to compete in a performance class other than rally novice?
10) Do you think there should be more programs that support the health of our
breed such as the creation of a GSDCA database regarding health issues like
allergies, GI issues, seizures, etc and the bloodlines that produce them?

5.Might add:
* What is your feeling on 'closed sessions' for Board decisions that are NOT
listed in the By Laws
or P & P Manual as privacy issues? Also more accountability on who voted how?
* Do you see a possibility of more open information to the membership regarding
Board decisions
and changes much sooner, via the internet or posting on the web site?
Possibly even a quick preview of the Agenda BEFORE the meetings being made
accessible to
the members?
* Do you have any suggestions or ideas on how to promote better P.R. for our
Breed and
National and breeder/exhibitors?
* Do you have any thoughts or plans on how to make our "NATIONAL" more
accessible to
every single exhibitor across the Country EVERY single year..........with a
dog? <G>
* Do you believe we have a great Breed Standard as it is or do you want to make
changes
for ANY reason?
* Do you have plans to have LESS Futurity Regions.....rather than allow the
Clubs that want to
Host the Futurities continue to do so with the current 9 Regions?
