We cannot dictate what they do unfortunately. They are a separately incorporated organization. It is too bad they (or the ones in charge) have decided they want to separate totally from us. Hopefully the effort to create a venue for the working dog under the umbrella of the GSDCA will succeed. Tish In a message dated 3/4/2014 10:53:16 P.M.

But, although we are the parent club of the WDA, we should not dictate what they do. Let them run their own programs. They, (as the president made clear), want to attach our president, accuse the GSDCA of not knowing what a good dog is, and show nothing but disdain to our organization. More importantly, the WDA no longer upholds the standards of the GSDCA. It is clear they should no longer be supported by the GSDCA. We need to remove them from our organization and concentrate on our club, our breed and our members. They now sound more like the SchUSA, and they too are welcome to their opinions. When the WDA decides they want to dictate to the GSDCA, it is time to admit, the attempt to have the WDA as a branch of the GSDCA has not worked. Let them go off on their own, and allow them to move in a different direction. We must stand behind and support Frank and the mission statement of the GSDCA. Evan L.

The members also are not aware of the financial situation of the WDA. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
