As many are aware there was a proposal sent to the CKC regarding a changeto our breed standard to remove the disqualification on white dogs. The GSDCCinformed the CKC that we would not be asking for any standard changes at thistime. Part two of this story played out the the CKC board meeting held September13th and 14th. A proposal was submitted to the board to have them recognize theWhite Swiss Shepherd Dog as a breed and put it on their Miscellaneous Breeds List. The GSDC of Canada opposed this recognition on the grounds that the WSSD hadthe same DNA structure as the GSD making both German Shepherd Dogs. I havejust received word that the CKC board turned the request down because the WSSDcould not be shown to have different DNA. At least for the time being things remain the same here, no breed standard change andno separation into two breeds.
