OK....The FB posting has kathy's name with an arrow to WDA and repeats the welcome message. the logo is there and everything. Here are some of the posts: It was confusing. Cynthia Rik Atchley kathy, thank you for the invitation. I do not think I will be welcome. That is unless the GSDCA has decided to adopt health standards and some sort of true character evaluation for their awards. And decided to become overnight "keepers of the breed". 17 hours ago · LikeUnlike · 1 * Sally Blount it would be nice Rik Atchley if we could get something going to improve the American Shepherd, however, I do not see them wanting to hear how they have ruined the German Shepherd. Until our puppy buyer become more educated they will not change. I run a boarding facility and have many American Shepherds I care for, when their rear is so badly angulated they can't even get on a couch, you would think that they would see that as a sign something is wrong. And that is just the tip of the ice berg. Its extreamly sad. We really need to educate people. That is the only way AKC will change their way, when they start loosing money. 14 hours ago · LikeUnlike ________________________________ From: Ken Tank <tanksr@xxxxxxxxx> To: vande001@xxxxxxxxx Cc: Show List <Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2011 11:19 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: FACEBOOK MEMBERS THE GSDCA IS NOW OFFICIAL THERE I'm certain that Cynthia went to a different Facebook site. There is nothing at all negative on the German Shepherd Dog Club of America site. Here's the address: https://www.facebook.com/pages/German-Shepherd-Dog-Club-of-America/216354998439684?sk=wall&filter=1 If you are searching for the site be sure to spell out "German Shepherd Dog Club of America" or you may get the wrong site. This is a very positive site open to all.
