That is the truth! Many treat our dogs as "commodity." I agree with the Board's decision to allow White GSDs to compete for the highest performance titles. I've seen many White GSDs that conform to the standard, white coat not withstanding. I think that some people believe that there is a conspiracy theory as far as some of the other "colors" go. Those breeders are not interested in AKC conformation shows or joining our club--they are interested in MONEY. Let's not go overboard on this, folks.
