I understand they have considered changing the nature of the club. They did get recognition from the SV, even though the SV by-laws only allow one club per country. The WDA plays an important role for the GSDCA. I do not take a position on supporting the club with money, I leave that to our board, who meets, discusses the needs and votes what to do. I continue to have great faith in my board, and am thankful they are doing the job, so I don't have to. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
