Now that is actually funny - you can have a GSD-looking (sort of) ILP dog
awarded a breed title but a purebred not because their owner is not a club
member. Now that is saying a lot about the quality of the dog!
I wonder if the same is true of the other awards - highest scoring CH, highest
scoring Rescue, and the long list of others.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] What if...
I'm reading the fine print in the National premium list.
I've never read the fine print or entered a special before, so maybe this
paragraph has always been included:
"*The title of Grand Victor, Grand Victrix and the award of the Von Stephanitz
price for dogs (and miniature replicas) and all Select Titles will only be
awarded to those dogs whose owner (at least one owner) is a current member in
good standing of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America."
What exactly is the plan if the judge points to dog entry #777 as Victor... and
after the cheering, applause & general jumping up & down... someone points out
that 777's owner is not a club member? Does Select 2 become GV & Select 3
become Select 2 & so on down the line...? Until someone points out Select 11's
owner is also not a club member. 11 was the last Select, so either his owner
joins or all the dogs in the last group return to the ring & are re-judged to
fill the spot.
Or, is the plan to quickly offer the non-member the chance to buy a membership
on the spot, thus keeping the GV title?
Or, was it a plan to boost membership just before the National?
I'm not a fan of this new membership drive.
There's a similar notation in the Herding premium list stating that the high
scoring GSD may be denied the title Herding Victor if the owner is not a club
member.
How will such wins go down in National history? With asterisks?
2013 HV* Fluffsalot's Furball HXCc, RN, TD - score 72
* Fancydog's Max HXcs - score 98.5 - owner not a club member
To punish the accomplishments of a dog because of its human's club membership
doesn't sit right.
