I bet this is a wonderful marketing opportunity for someone producing a ton of
fuzzies -
I am all for marketing, just thought the club should be marketed and the
standard promoted rather than creating a better market for coats, but then what
the heck do I know.
Why don't they market naming rights to the National or the Standard (The AKC
German Shepherd Dog fueled by Purina and protected by FrontlinePlus) Just wait
- won't take long.

Hi Pauline
Yes, you are correct, just wanted to point out that sometimes new ideas are not
alwyas popular and then turn out to be a good thing. My own opinion is truly
that this will not be successful and will die of natural causes. The only
reason I'm not getting all upset about it is that it's not going to "hurt" the
breed per say. The issue with the DQ faults was totally unacceptable to me,
there again, the board trying to think outside the box.
My big concern is the future of our American Show Dog, it is becoming an
endanged species and USsCA is waiting in the wings for that to happen. I am
not a big believer in the sky is falling, but in this particular case, we are
getting close. The fiscal situation of our club is very concerning, and with
this 2013 World Trial Event looming, I don't think we have the man power nor
money power to be equipt to pull this off. I so hope I'm wrong!
So I guess for me personally, a Long Coat class is not on the high priority
list to be concerned about. I truly believe the board is tyring to find ways
for people to get and stay involved, this class certainly won't make enough
money to make a difference, but perhaps gain a few people who will get involved
in the club and the breed.
Your post was excellent and I agree with what you said. There are several
breeder judges who serve on our board, and I would venture to guess that
several would put up a coat (without a seperate class) if it were the best dog
in the winners class. With that being said, I also believe that on a National
level, that will more than likely not happen, the quality of the regular coated
dogs will be too deep. I think this board is more forward thinking than we've
had in a while, so I try to support some of these ideas, at least not blast
them out of the saddle for trying a new program, even if they are not always
the "best" ideas. Not sure how this all came about, I wonder if the decision
from the SV to offer the long stock coat class influenced this perhaps, but I'm
only speculating.
We certainly are loosing the battle to the German/Euro dogs, their breeders are
marketing experts and they are gaining popularity with their shows. Not hardly
any professional handlers and many young peole including pre and teenagers
showing the dogs. I've been to a couple of those shows, know several of the
people, and can understand why it's gaining momentum every year.
With that said, I don't want to loose my American Show Dogs, I love them, that
is what I breed and show, and want to support our GSDCA in keeping our 1/2 vote
in the world union seat and not have USsCA overtake us.
Have a GREAT weekend, love reading your posts, you are always a great voice of
reason.
Chris
