How in the world could the board vote to pass letting the white GSD become a separate breed. They are not a different breed...they are GERMAN SHEPHERDS!!! Period...end of discussion. Especially when seven members had left to catch a plane. Why was it left to the end of the meeting anyway......to make sure that it passed??? And people wonder why we are losing members........can hardly wait to see how many people do not join in December. I actually believe that they should let the white dogs be shown in conformation......that is what they should have been discussing.......JMO!!!
