I've been a member of the WDA,since they first formed as a committee and Fred Lanting was their President. Remember- SchUSA was trying to replace us at the world union(WUSV) as the Parent Club in America for the German Shepherd dog. Thank You Helen. Today, then, the WDA is a separate entity from the GSDCA. They are no longer a committee, they have their own Board of Directors, their own structure, and their own agendas. Their members are not obligated to follow any of the GSDCA directives, and the membership of the GSDCA has no obligations to the WDA.....right? Why is it then, that their is a perceived obligation from the GSDCA, besides the obvious history? Are there bylaws that establish certain responsibilities to either group? And who is going to host the World Show: The WDA or The GSDCA? We are talking a lot of money. Ileana **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!
