Mmmmmmm, here we are into the second month ( or so it seems ) of discussions on changing the standard. There have been many hundred reasons posted for not changing. There has yet to be even one reason FOR changing. Could it be that the mission statement of the GSDCA does not include a valid reason ? Someone please post the GSDCA mission statement so that all posters will know what we are talking about. This is not an AKC issue, nor is it an issue involving colors that can be registered with AKC. This is an issue involving ONLY the GSDCA. Carolyn ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2012.
