No rubber stamps, although I always enjoy those. If the AKC says we can do that, (get rid of the DQ for Whites), then it will go to all of us for a vote. Then the majority will decide the issue. Every club member can then vote, and as best I understand it takes 2/3 of the membership to change the standard. If we get a chance to even consider it. Evan L.
