Does the word "desperation" come to mind? When I was on the board, over ten years ago, the whites made a presentation to the board about accepting them. It has been discussed since it was made a fault. Accepting whites will not gain membership. Most of the white breeders support the parent club and are already members. What it will do is determine if when they were disqualified if it was the right move or not. If you want to increase the membership, just welcome the new people. Do you think when the board disqualified the whites in the 50s they did it to gain more members? Evan L.
