----------------- Forwarded Message: Subj: Important - Suggested GSDCA Slate for those wanting Working Dogs to continue Date: 10/04/2005 4:17:37 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: kim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: kim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent from the Internet (Details) My webpage now includes more correspondence with candidates. http://www.vomhausleclair.com/GSDCA%20President%20Candidates%20Responses.htm Because of the way the board is weighted and the antagonism over the working dogs, it is very important that the WDA members who are members of the GSDCA VOTE proactively to keep our working dogs part of the GSDCA venues. I am all for all venues being included in GSDCA, we all have GSD's, but some Fancier's of the club not only do not want Schutzhund and German style showing, some have even brought up pulling out of the WUSV. If the AKC working dog program (Schutzhund) is approved, each breed club allowed (GSD, Briard, Doberman, Rottweiler) has to implement the program in their own club. Should non-supportive people of working dogs be in positions in GSDCA, the program will just not be implemented with the GSDCA . What a shame that would be. PLEASE, make your voices heard, show the GSDCA that WDA members are part of the consideration and have voting power. The following slate is "Schutzhund and German style showing" compassionate and sympathetic along with knowing that true working dog people have to be appointed to the Working Dog Program committee for correct implementation.
