I surely hope that the members of the current GSDCA board agree with us. We are ready to work hard again as a committee of the GSDCA. -----Original Message----- From: Ruth Scheubler <rightdogphoto@xxxxxxxxx> To: destinogs1 <destinogs1@xxxxxxx>; rbuffdogs <rbuffdogs@xxxxxxxxx>; pagairs <pagairs@xxxxxxx> Cc: tanbarkgsd <tanbarkgsd@xxxxxxxxx>; showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sun, Feb 23, 2014 1:42 pm Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: WDA & GSDCA - Dues Mary - that is exactly what should happen.

Many of the WDA members put a lot of time and THEIR money in building the organization over the years. They are shocked that this is happening. When I say, WDA members I mean GSDCA members that built the WDA and then were cast aside in the past few years. They never intended this organization(WDA) to turn on the GSDCA. Their hopes, dreams and accomplishments have been destroyed by a handful of people in the last few years. I feel part of their pain. I've learned to love the sport and have learned a lot about it, not to mention the friends that I have made in that venue. I have a "home" and that home is the GSDCA , they have no home only the wreckage of a venue that will fail under the banner of the WDA. The WDA has pissed away their "war chest", that was accoummulated by GSDCA members over the years. I truly hope that the GSDCA will welcome them and the sport that they love into the folds of the GSDCA by formi ng a committee designed to allow them to participate.

That organization is full of problems, nd it is nothing I would ever want to join. The WDA became at one timea nice alternative to that for people. ut now the organization has run off the track. I believe the GSDCA should be involved in every possible aspect of this reat breed, ven Schutzhund. Now that the AKC has given the blessing to working dog port, e can be free of the WDA. They serve no real purpose for the GSDCA , now. I think that not only could the GSDCA do the club shows and trials , we HOULD. e should become the example of the right way to do it, and give people a iable ption to the USCA club, and now an option over the WDA. We have a great many knowledgeable people that are members of the GSDCA as ell as the WDA..or were. t will take some time to get it started on the regional level , like all hings, but look forward to it. ventually I would like to see it added to our Nationals, just like gility, Herding, etc. As for ourselves, we were , WERE proud members of the WDA. We have chosen ot to re-up our membership there. This is not because of the members of he WDA, ut because of the ongoing problems with it's president, and board. Not he least of hich what seems to be a total lack of appreciation from Dan, and his board or what as a successful World Trial. I say this as I have heard and read from eople that attend orld Trials every year, that all teams were quite satisfied with how it ent. That is great!! Dan Yee promised better, happier, warm fuzzy, welcoming organization...it has been nything but that, since e came into office. Transparency is zip. The lawsuit is an abomination, nd an embarrassment o the WDA, and Dan Yee is out of control. No thank you, and I feel badly or the WDA membership, ho I am sure don't need more drama. Like the rest of us, I am sure they ould just like to enjoy the dogs. What a shame, we had great hopes for the WDA. But I won't lose any leep over not being a member. wish the very best for the GOOD folks in that organization.
