They evidently are in competition with each others titles? You only get your titles through the SchH club. ============================================================================ The UScA has long wanted to be the only recognized representative of the GSD before the World Union of GSD Clubs. The GSDCA was the only club with standing, then UScA, which was an all breed schutzhund club became a German Shepherd only club, then became a registry and is moving aggressively to become the only representative of the GSD in America with world standing. They now share standing with the GSDCA. Their latest move was to refuse to honor any other awards or titles from other schutzhund trials, including the GSDCA-WDA, except other World Union Clubs. . They want it all. Most of you know what I think about any club, organization, church or government that wants to control everything. In retaliation to their power moves, we should be the opposite - open, accessible, inclusive, supportive, and even complimentary to those dogs and owners who, from any venue, do it right and work for a title. Just my rant! Dave ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
