Btw, I do feel - All AKC Conformation showing is at great risk(not just GSD's).
I think the difference is that we are one on the few breeds that has some
options, or opportunities to stop the bleeding, but that will take some serious
thought, and discussion to address the long term health of both the breed(as
defined by the GSDCA) and the club if both are to survive.
It's time to listen.........
Ok, off my high horse -- nuff fireworks for the day

Yes Evan, I suppose you may be technically accurate - and of course that
depends on the definition of "survive" is(stealing from ol WJC).
Let me put it this way, the membership is in jeopardy and thereby the club as a
whole.
Why, do you ask.
â?¢ Our membership is aging - rapidly
â?¢ People are finding other things to do with much less investment and more
lets just say "an even playing field".
â?¢ From a finance perspective to be blunt those with higher levels of
disposable income are not finding our venue very attractive to them
â?¢ We are loosing serious breeders at an alarming rate, and they are not being
replenished
â?¢ Those young folks who have an interest in the GSD are by far more likley to
head down the Working Dog route.(Schutzhund)
â?¢ If we lose that arm(WDA) for whatever reason, I'm of the opinion our
credibility as an organization responsible for the most versatile of breeds
could be greatly diminished both here and abroad.
I suppose one member could do it all, Evan - hope your up to the task. Of
course the good new, you only have to answer to your self(well maybe Tedi).
