How can this be in motion with the AKC if we, the members have not voted? Why the hell are we members of this club if we don't have a vote??" Angie, the membership WILL get the opportunity to vote; however the AKC must *approve the language* that will be used when presenting the proposal to the membership for a vote.

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?
