I wish some of the members in the GSDCA could see this picture you just sent, I have no doubt in my mind that he is a fine example of a gsd. I wish you success and fun showing him, and know you will have it' Ann Gray In a message dated 8/1/2011 3:21:00 P.M.

Guess where alot of those lines came from? US and Canada. And, do we really think those Europeans are tellibg us all of the health issues they see? Yeah, right. I could care less if they became a separate breed - like UKC did. My whites are UKC GSDs. Others are UKC WSs. BTW - I have attached a pix of my 4 month old Bodhi. He AIN'T no stinken WS!

It makes it more fun and challenging. It's not rocket science, most judges can deal with divided classes and varieties. Ann Gray In a message dated 8/1/2011 11:13:51 A.M.

With this economy, I would think the GSDCA needs to keep every member hey have. I would prefer to see the white allowed back in the GSD conformation ring but dd an additional open class - Any solid color. Whites and blacks would ompete there. That way, no variety is needed. his is done in other breeds. HINT - MORE entries at shows!
