This is, as pointed out repeatedly, a show list - to promote the AKC/CKC style of conformation. I think it is GREAT when a GSD show line dog also competes in other venues & it is great to share the pride. However, I do not belong to THIS list to hear a few listers tell me that I need to breed to a German import & how much it will increase the quality of our Am Bred shepherds. There are MANY other places & lists, where you can engage in this type of opinion - why do you think that it must be done here? I thank our administrators for trying to control these people that insist on discussing a subject that they agreed NOT to discuss when they joined the list. Sometimes, IMO - they take too long to stop these posts. What about taking it private? Also, why should I have to constantly use the delete button when a forbidden subject overtakes the list? Why do people agree to rules & then think that they only have to abide by the ones they like?
