How many Obedience folks think it means more to get a "leg" or finish a title at the National? If I had a white who was ready for an obedience title, I would show at the GSDCA National Obedience Trial, if I could get there. If I had a TOP obedience GSD, regardless of color, I would want to compete at the GSDCA National Obedience Trial, where the TOP competitors would be gathering. This is also called "supporting your breed club" Barb Hively - PA DNA. It's what makes a white, a German Shepherd -----Original Message----- From: judsohngsd <judsohngsd@xxxxxxx> To: showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wed, Oct 16, 2013 1:14 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Thanks Zoe...I will try this again OK people..you can't have it both ways...if you want to give the top performance titles to GSD's with no DQ's then a line needs to be put into the premium list stating "the top GSDCA Performance award will be given to a dog that meets the standard and has NO disqualifying faults, this dog may be spayed or neutered, but must meet the GSD standard for Conformation dogs" If you are unwilling to award Obedience/Rally Victor/Vtx to a white dog, then state it clearly and do not take their money..Each of these dogs can win a HIGH IN TRIAL or HIGH COMBINED at an A K C show they do not need our national to do this.... they can do it for less money and no hurt feelings after a great performance...........No I do not nor ever have been a person who shows their dogs in Performance events......(unless you count 1 in 28 years) but have always showed my dogs in the conformation ring..........PLEASE if you do not want to give them the GSDCA highest award in performance events at the national...make it very clear that you also do not want their money Judy ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2012.
