They have been a separate corporation since the beginning, I suppose (guess). I doubt that the legalities are as significant as the historical relationships. This is more like a divorce. The issues are emotional and the separation has already occurred over time. What remains is the final arguments and custody hearing. Dave ___________________________________________ 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.
