And, why are they a different breed? The majority of those lines came from the United States and Canada, back in the 70s and forward. They are German Shepherds. Since the AKC will register them as German Shepherds, AKC feels they are NOT a different breed. Have you written to a Board member and asked about the Board's stand on it? Or, if it was or wasn't discussed at the Board meeting? That would be your best course of action, IMO. Barb Hively - PA DNA. It's what makes a white, a German Shepherd -----Original Message----- From: Melanie Fuellgraf <valleydogs2000@xxxxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, Jul 9, 2013 5:07 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Omission from Jan 2013 Board mtg minutes? I was reviewing the minutes from the January 2013 Board meeting and I was wondering why there was no mention in the "Old Business" section of the minutes of the request I made to the Board that the GSDCA object to the AKC registering imported Berger Blanc Suisse dogs as AKC GSDs. These are dogs of a different FCI breed. Even the SV views these dogs as a different breed. â¬I think this is important information for the membership to know, to at least be able to voice an opinion to the Board about. Does anyone know how I would go about asking for a correction to the minutes to include this information?
