Now I think that is the MOST REASONABLE solution I have ever heard on this issue. Why not put ALL THREE CHOICES on the ballot if it does go to a vote?? 1. Leave the STANDARD ALONE 2. Allow SEPARATION for those who prefer the white color 3. Allow white to become a SERIOUS FAULT That way the Parent Club members are getting a worthwhile vote that covers their choices for the cost of the ballot and mailing and it should resolve this issue forever. Why not allow the members to really have a valid vote?

For some reason when they ask to join I guess they do not get enough sponsors since people do not know them. I thought the AWSA was the first White Shepherd club started here. I know they have approached the GSDCA for separation and there was talk but as I understand it something happened to change the situation. Maybe there should be a vote also included for the separation so it could all be finished once and for all. As every member of the GSDCA has the right to chose what they feel is best for the GSD.

Do they not count?? Seems they DO want Breed separation.....as do many of us who breed according to the Standard.
