I fail to understand how some of these people cannot understand that if there is no GSDCA....there is no German Shepherd Breed. Who would be the guardian of the standard? Who would oversee our specialty shows? Who would send copies of the standard to others? Who would keep records? Sorry, but I truly believe if you care about the breed, you care about being a part of it's foundation.
