With all do respect, I don't care why the SV banned White GSDs....I don't belong to their club, nor do I pay them any dues....Ed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liane Fossland" <lfossland@xxxxxxx> To: wynsum@xxxxxxx, showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, August 4, 2011 9:02:16 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: THE STANDARD So, perhaps of Ed wishes to have an answer to his question regarding Whites he could go straight to the source, namely the SV and find out from them why the Whites are banned from the (their) Standard. Frankly, I am not against change, I've made changes all my life, but they concerned me and my surroundings, not something that concerns the existence of a breed that we all do love. And there is no doubt in my mind that, if it should come to pass that the Whites should be part of us, the GSDCA, it will affect us all big time. The word "Change" has been thrown around too much lately!
