I think the word was just used wrongly. The way I took it to mean was that we are all proud of our own world. The phrase I always liked was egocentrics. Those who have dedicated themselves to Whites are proud of their world, and stay so, even while a number of people look down at them. I find them to be good individuals with dreams. They do so while knowing there will always be some GSD breeders who will think less of them. That is a strong ego. I respect those who love their dogs, the color of the person or the dog makes little difference to me. We who are allowed to share their world, the world of dogs are elite, and proud of it.
