Nancy, I love you.

If the DQ for whites is removed why would we not remove the serious fault for blues, and or livers? They are also a true GS are they not? To save ourselves time, trouble, and money, (have it all on one ballot - save the printing and mailing) why don't we just get it over with all at once by allowing any and all mixes of color including Panda GS. Or BLUES with a LONG white blaze down the front all the way between the front legs and maybe, if we are lucky, sporting a white front paw and a white back paw. WOW !!!! Wouldn't THAT be appealing to the general public. Something RARE & expensive too, like the cock-a-poo or the Lab-a-doodle. I mean, after all, OFA has these "breeds"(?) listed in their data base. We could all make gobs of money on these RARE Shepherds, just like breeders (?) of the white Shepherds did WAAAAYYYY back when they were advertised in "DOG WORLD" in the late 50d's and early 60'ds, as THE RARE AND BEAUTIFUL WHITE GS. (yes, I am dating myself here), Think of all the new members we could gather, think of all the money that would be put in the Coffers of the GSDCA. After all, our treasury is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING isn't it? Somehow I can't remember the GSDCA offering more education, having better judges, better Nationals or our breed leaping forward with great improvements when we had all that money. But then again, as stated previously, I am getting "up there" and maybe my memory is just failing me. If I live that long, I don't know if I will be able to recognize the NEW GERMAN SHEPHERD in the future.

Also removed by AKC request was an AKC rule - DOgs that attempt to bite the judge must be disqualified There were no changes made to the head or any other changes On 20 May 2014, at 15:30, Kim McNamara wrote: I'll be interested to see if they changed any of the wording from what was proposed back in October. Then, under the color section it says "dogs without predominantly black noses are a very serious fault" but under Head and the Disqualification sections, dogs without predominantly black noses are disqualified. Very poorly written in my humble opinion. Yuck.
