I agree and I hope EVERYBODY writes to the BOARD. Just e-mailing the list doesn't get it done. All of their current e-mail addys are right on the web site, easy enough!

They are not selling German Shepherds they are selling genatic lab creations and passing them off as German Shepherds and I think GSDCA or AkC or who ever should denie the right of calling these animals German Shepherds.

These are just a quick few web sites.......I hope those who care will take the time to look and think about it and write your Board. This is not a "fairness issue". This is about chipping away at our Standard!! www.gaardog.com www.kerstoneshepherds.net www.angelicshepherds.com www.furrarikennels.com www.pandashepherds.com www.7csshepherds.com www.k9pines.com www.owlgrovegsd.com Are we SURE we want to actually ignore a disqualifying fault..........just because the DNA is German Shepherd Dog??? ( here is your results!! ) Once you go down this road........it will be hard to get back on track. Our membership will fill up with those who vote along these lines with the steps the Board has taken. * We should never ignore and use a disqualifying fault for the purpose of increasing a membership in spite of our Standard..... just for financial purposes and numbers!! * Notice these are being passed off as show dogs and breeding stock. I'm no Rocket Scientist....but I don't think there is ANY A.K.C. Breed that allows all and any color and marking!?? Are we sure we want to present this as the face of the German Shepherd Dog and acceptable by the German Shepherd Dog Club Of America, Inc. as we ignore our own mission statement? * I don't think those who want to separate their beautiful white dogs would ever do this kind of breeding for marketing. I think it is time we listened to them and allow them their place in the world as they choose. * Sadly the temptation and decision to ignore our Standard always seems to be dominated by the dollar.
