I want to see pictures of the offspring. So, in about a year from now, you will have some pictures for me? Barb Hively - PA DNA. It's what makes a white, a German Shepherd Carolyn M. suggests we prove "Blue" on a liver bitch with a 'sno nose'. Then we join the White GSDC International ( at full price of course ) and vote to change their Standard to accept Livers and blues. After all..they aren't deaf and they can work and they DO have GSD DNA. The non black nose might cause a problem at first. But..changes can always be made to accept them along with the yellow eyes and ring tails. They've always been around from the beginning..... Ours will be more rare than Joan's Rainbow Kennels and will NOT cause any fading or washed out colors. We can burn the Parent Club Mission Statement at our Grand Opening. ( PS. IF Blue is a long coat...I'll ship the ice balls and stickers to YOU!! ) ( Trust me....they'll STILL be intact and frozen... ) Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.marhaven.com -----Original Message----- From: ""Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx" Subject: Re: Voting on the standard Carolyn M. & I want a blue long coat to go herding with. I am going to call him "Blue". He will live with Carolyn and go herding. We hope we can get him all the way to herding Victor.

FB ----- Original Message ----- From: Penny Kroh <farmdogforever@xxxxxxxxx>) Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Voting on the standard I will attempt to answer your questions, as I have been a voting member of the GSDCA since 1981. Changes in the standard have been hashed and re-hashed for years. People are STRONG in their beliefs. There is no conspiracy theory regarding these changes among people who breed White GSDs or any other breeders of German Shepherds, no malevolent movement going on. Reduced memberships have been used to entice new members to our club. I take no offense in this. I can give you an example. I subscribe to DirecTV and pay for the NFL Sunday Ticket, because I love professional football, especially The Buffalo Bills. It is expensive. This year DirecTV is offering the NFL Sunday Ticket for FREE to entice new subscribers. Am I mad? Of course not! DirecTV is using the NFL Sunday Ticket as a marketing ploy to get new subscribers. (I see no difference in what our club has done. Same animal.) If you don't like this example and still think it isn't "fair" then I will tell you something else: LIFE ISN'T FAIR. It is what it is. I can also say, make your feelings HEARD through your ballot; I know I certainly will.
