I disagree with my good friend Evan, and let me say again I have no credibility in this sport because I have not been very successful, but with that said I have no problem with folks on both sides of the issue continuing to voice their thoughts and opinions... The arguments on both sides have beenwell represented! I must admit I originally was in favor of the white dogbeing able to compete in conformation. The standard is nothing more than aman-made blue-print on what the ideal GSD should look like. White dogs are at this time something this membership does not want to incorporate into the show standard. That's not right or wrong it's just the way the club as a whole wants it right now. One day this may change. I am voting for the long coat, but like I said. Nobody cares.
