The WDA is NOT a committee of the GSDCA, they are however an extension hence the name GSDCA-WDA. Someday, when AKC accepts the Working Dog Sport and allows the Master Level work then maybe the GSDCA and the WDA stand as one. Right now the WDA through the SchH Competition and SV Titles does give the GSDCA membership in the WUSV and we do compete at the World Trials with our team wearing GSDCA-WDA Jackets. In addition the GSDCA-WDA does field a team with members from SchH USA, another SchH organization. Wouldn't it be great if someday we all stood under the same umbrella as one? ===================== Great now everyone seems to be on the same track. I think it would be great for every one to be a member of the PC and be able to pursue their own interest with their german shepherds. At this time it does not appear possible - so here is my next statement and I am very sure if it is incorrect some one will let me know. It looks to me like we have people running for election to the PC board that do not have any interest or activities in akc events.- They maybe pc members but do not participate in akc functions. sally ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
