I would love to turn this into an educational issue, so if you are only
bitching please don't bother me. I prefer to become part of the solution,
not
increase the problem. However, I will consider it very disrespectful as a

Well... Hopefully, those who have more knowledge of this issue will answer
with more details. Briefly, this is what I know.....
The WDA started as a committee of the GSDCA to meet the needs of GDCA
members that wanted to compete in Schutzhund and protection activities. When
AKC
ruled that any dog sport which included "biting" could not be associated with
an AKC event, the WDA became a separate organization but with close ties to
the GSDCA - most of its officers were also GSDCA board members.
This "partnered" organization sends a team to the World Union of German
Shepherd Dogs (WUSV) where they compete under the name of GSDCA. Since the
WUSV
only allows one team per country, the United States team is composed of
GSDCA/WDA members and U.S.A. (United Schutzhund Club of America) members. The
GSDCA contributes to send this competition team to Europe.
Over the years a number of GSDCA board members have also served as board
members of WDA and the issue of conflict of interest has often been raised.
