Well at least he was able to win it once after being denied the opportunity 
last year.  If he keeps showing with white dogs, it may be a long time before 
the Obedience Grand victor/victrix is awarded to anyone.  Shame.

Denise, you ask "why let them enter?".  

Again, "Remember the dogs w/ DQs were still eligible for AKC awards,  high 
Combined in OB, High in Trial for herding/agility and THAT'S why people who  
had dogs w/ DQs still entered, for the qualifying scores/runs, for the  
OTCH points etc. And yes, we took their money and yes, their scores were  
recorded and the dogs competing got all of the AKC awards they were eligible  
for."

I don't know how active you are in performance but there are all sorts of  
awards at many trials, for example, the Golden or Poodle people as well as 
GSD  people may sponsor High Scoring for that breed, High Scoring Rescue, now 
we see  High Scoring ILP/PAL. You can make up any criteria you like for an 
award as  long as it is listed in the premium. I may not have a rescue or 
ILP dog, so  therefore would not be eligible for those awards, and that's 
fine, right?   My qualifying scores or OTCH points earned would still count 
towards my AKC  titles/awards.

I don't think any competitor reads a premium more closely than a  
performance exhibitor.  They know what they are eligible for or not  eligible 
for.

Sorry Kathy was not done with the e-mail was trying to save and continue  
but hit send. My point is that it has happened twice now they worked hard and 
if they are unable to win then why let them enter the national? To take 
their  money and say oops you have the best score but your dog is white sorry? 
I feel  so sorry for the person because we bitch and complain that they won 
and take  away their glory and excitement? We do it to our selfs in 
confirmation which  is sad and now performance? Now wonder people think we are 
snobs and newbies  leave as fast as they came. We are all pissed off all the 
time and can't own  up that in some cases the dog was not what the judge 
wanted.  I am not  talking politics and handlers. Example this years National I 
put my bitch in  specials and she was not in the running. I was fine with it I 
know she doesn't  have a lot of rear drive and she has one speed fast. I 
was happy with her  performance and my young handler did an awesome job. 
Others were pissed off  about it. Why because I didn't win because I had a 
young 
handler and my bitch  is nice. All through I appreciate that they think I 
have a nice bitch. The  funny part is that I was the one saying why she was 
not chosen. If whites can  not win the huge award they should not be able to 
enter. Just like spooks,  bits ect. These are DQ but yet they win. Why 
because some of the DQ you can  hide? Sorry your DQ is more obvious . Boy do we 
have a double standard. Again  JMO

Denise, a little history.  Prior to 2012 when, for whatever reason,  the 
"old rules", that a dog w/ a DQ could not win a top GSDCA award were  left off 
the premium list, dogs who were eligible for the award were examined  by an 
AKC judge to certify that had no DQs.  

If a dog DID have a DQ, the GSDCA award was not offered that  year, there 
was no giving it to the next in line.

Remember the dogs w/ DQs were still eligible for AKC awards, high  Combined 
in OB, High in Trial for herding/agility and THAT'S why people who  had 
dogs w/ DQs still entered, for the qualifying scores/runs, for the OTCH  points 
etc. And yes, we took their money and yes, their scores were recorded  and 
the dogs competing got all of the AKC awards they were eligible for.

If you read the purpose of the GSDCA, "To define precisely and  publish 
definition of the true type, and to urge the adoption of such types  on 
breeders, judges, dog show committees, etc., as the only recognized  and 
unvarying 
standard by which the German Shepherd Dog is to be judged,  and which may in 
the future be uniformly accepted as the sole standard of  excellence in 
breeding and awarding prizes of merit; " you  will see where there is a 
conflict with awarding dogs with breed DQs a GSDCA  prize of merit.

A lot of us took that above paragraph to heart.  The proof of  that is how 
the ballot questions re DQs and ILPs and PALs turned  out.

I know you are not old enough to remember the "conformation  enthusiasts" 
who fought so very hard to bring performance to the level of  recognition it 
has today at our premiere event.  Several would be turning  in their graves 
at the thought we even needed to vote on DQs being eligible  for the awards 
they fought so hard to have included.

I guess  these days we have to specify "AKC", there are so many  other 
venues I get dizzy.

And for the record, I DO know what it takes to train a High Combined  dog 
and a High Scoring GSD in Utility at a large AKC trial, having done  it.  I 
am sick to death of those that think top winning breed dogs in AKC  events 
(again I guess we have to specify), know little more than how to how to  hit 
the end of a leash and show their teeth.  Maybe you can get away with  that 
in some of the other organizations and venues that I am not familiar  with, 
truthfully, I have no idea.

I  totally agree, if we allow white shepherds to show in all performance 
venues  then they deserve the win. I guess I don't understand why they are DQ 
in  conformation but can enter in all performance class but if a white wins 
a  high title then the whole white gsd becomes an issue. Like Amy said its  
performance.  Your more then willing to take their entries and money  but it 
is an issue if they win? Sorry doesn't make sense to  me.

Come on  people.......so she is white.....she is a GERMAN SHEPHERD. Her 
owner  
worked very hard to get her to the level that she competed in and did  well 
enough to become the Obedience Victrix. They are not judged on  color or 
conformation.......they are judged solely on how they go  through the 
different exercises needed to score high. Obedience is not  
easy......especially at the higher level. I put a CD myself on my first  
Ch.Elway........it was not easy.....but we did it. Give it a rest and  
worry 
about something that you can do something about.......HUGE  CONGRATS TO RON 
AND HIS WHITE OBEDIENCE VICTRIX.........me thinks it is  time to set 
vacation 
or go to digest!!!!
