Thanks for the clarification Sue...as I certainly did not intend to imply that. I just used your post at the bottom to point out that right now I don't feel like the membership has much of a vote or say in any of this. Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.marhaven.com On Behalf Of Sue Tomlinson Sent:To: Carolyn Martello Cc: The list Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: WHITE GSD International Vote/ THANKS! For what its worth, I do not have white GSD's, and have NO interest in having them. Why would you link my name and post to the above information? Its certainly misleading and presumptuous. What I stated was true, despite the hysteria. Jumping to the conclusion that dropping the DQ for white colored dogs would encourage people to breed for pandas and piebalds? There are people ALREADY breeding them, and they are AKC registered. That's a fact, not a reflection of my interest. ...and I do feel insulted that the board assumes they know my feelings on white GSD's, and proceeding to act without my or the memberships imput. Again, a fact, not a reflection of my interest. Sue T.
