The database mentioned in question 10 of Sarah's post was accomplished when
the 13 club went online. You'll have to ask Pam Stoesser how to access the
whole database comparison.

What 10 questions would you like to ask ALL the candidates?
1) How do you feel the GSDCA can bring in and support new members?
2) What strategies would you use to help unite the show and IPO segments
of our breed so that they continue to support each other and even cross
over into each other's worlds? For example, creating an award or initiative
for show dogs who acquire a BH/IPO and BH/IPO dogs who acquire conformation
points.
3) Do you think there should be more of an emphasis on Amateur owners
being able to show their own dogs successfully (not every owner is
incapable of running)? If so, what programs would you support to help that
goal?
4) Do you think the PAM requirements should be revisited to include other
training (not instinct) based performance avenues such as nosework?
5) Do you think the concept of the total German shepherd is being promoted
by the club?
6) Do you think the time has come to open back up the Victor/Victrix
titles to white shepherds? Why or why not?
7) Do you think there is too much of an emphasis on side gait in the
conformation ring at the expense of other traits? If so, what are your
recommendations to solve this problem?
8) Do you think all dogs competing for a Select rating should hold a TC?
Why or why not?
9) Do you think the AOE should require a performance title that involves
the dog to compete in a performance class other than rally novice?
10) Do you think there should be more programs that support the health of
our breed such as the creation of a GSDCA database regarding health issues
like allergies, GI issues, seizures, etc and the bloodlines that produce
them?
