Maybe this has been addressed, and I missed it, so forgive me if I am being
redundant.I reviewed the requirements on the GSDCA site for the "prestigious
title" of obed. Vic./Vtx. My question is this, as it stands in order for a dog
to earn this title a it can have NO disqualifying faults as described in the
standard and this has to verified by an AKC judge. someone correct me if I am
wrong, but I think I remember when at least a "reserve win" was part of the
requirement for this title, but that was removed awhile back and changed to the
judge verification. So its obvious that the requirements for the award can be
changed. So why not simply change the requirements for the title, allowing
whites to compete? One could argue, why stop with white dogs, simply change the
language to let ALL dogs with DQ's compete for the title. To me a DQ is a DQ,
doesn't matter if the dog has one testicle( at one time that was acceptable in
the conformation ring), and undershot jaw, hanging ears( and I know a couple of
those that are currently being bred)or a docked tail. If the argument is that
"the change is only so that white dogs can compete in performance venues," then
simply changing the language for that event should NOT ONLY satisfy the white
dog breeders but ALL who want to compete in performance. The DQ status would
not be changed, and the standard would remain the same. I personally don't
think the requirements should change at all, as I believe that if a award is
considered "prestigious" then the best possible example of the breed should
represent it. Christine
