Evan, are you serious you are posting on whites right now. I guess the lawyer is coming out in your thinking. :-) So can you tell us why removing the DQ on the whites will help the GSD breed? For years breeders tried and succeeded in eliminating pups out of litters so you want to have they resurface again. :-) So are you going to breed your dogs now to the livers, whites, blues and pandas if this was to pass? If not there is no reason to change the GSD Standard is there.

But, tell me how keeping white DQ helps the breed, or how dropping it, hurts the breed? I got tired of asking why white is DQ other than, it is DQ. No one answered. Everyone will vote what they desire, and that will be by emotion. I know that is how I intend to vote. Evan In a message dated 8/25/2014 5:28:21 P.M.
