Well, I have not seen any of the GSD breeders or owners or GSD Org posting on their websites to join the GSDCA to vote against the white GSDs. Since 1959 the GSDCA has decided to make the white GSD a Disqualification in AKC- GSDCA Conformation classes so there was more than the case of them being an Albino as most people knew that even back then. It was proven back then and still today they can and do produce a washed out color when bred to a GSD that had white or a faded gene in their background. The reason probably most breeders that want pure white breed white-white to produce white not to bring the GSD into the situation. So if others that seem to know more than what is documented want the white GSD to show in Conformation in the future the white GSDs will diminish and there will be more faded GSDs in color. I guess now we will wait for the vote and hope it decides the best for the GSDs future.

Why wouldn't they want to be able to vote? Not to mention that many have colored GSDs and many probably would be more likely to get involved with the GSDCA and just might become an outstanding member.
