Doesn't that come under the Breeders Code of Ethics? Barb Hively - PA DNA. It's what makes a white, a German Shepherd -----Original Message----- From: Pauline Moon <ropajagsd@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Mon, Aug 4, 2014 4:05 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Regarding GSDCA membership policy Would someone enlighten me as to how the GSDCA�can approve a membership application from a breeder of GSDs who deliberately breeds against our current standard (i.e. deliberately breeds for a DQ)....Doesn't it say in our By-Laws that those seeking membership must agree to abide by "the mission and goals" (or words to that effect) of the GSDCA...I am sure someone will supply the exact verbiage; it is in our by-laws under membership application.....Just asking???� Please notice I said Breeder, I am not referencing a person who has purchased such a GSD and is involved in the performance venue only. � Pauline Moon Ropaja German Shepherds ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2014.
