But they do (object); an earlier board meeting addressed the fact that the 
issue of separation before them was dead.   Is thid petition referred to from 
2009 or is there a brand new one for this year I may have missed?

Oh like that will fly with the AKC. How, then, would the AKC know which white 
GSD registrations to cancel and make BBS and which white GSDs want to be 
GSDs?!?!?  And then to further shrink the gene pool for the white dogs to those 
exclusively registered as BBS when the large part of the white population will 
remain GSDs?  How confusing would that be to not be able to be bred to a dog 
who otherwise than papers is exactly the same...
That would go about as far as me trying to throw an elephant!
It's just too contradictory to be a viable answer.

To be working for the choice of breed separation is the same as working against 
breed inclusion, is it not?   
So what is AWSA's contingency plan for if the white coat earns conformation 
rights (either by removing the DQ or faulting the white) within the GSD breed?
