LOL. > Mike > Bakersfield, California > Mike, From what I understand they were voting to make the white German shepherd a SEPARATE breed, not a separate color class. Unfortunately when you DNA a white German shepherd or a pigmented German shepherd you get a GERMAN SHEPHERD, period. Color does not change that fact. I also understand from Helen's post that the full Board was not present for this very IMPORTANT vote. I know that at least four of those who were not present are very active in the breed and I question the validity of how our Board can push through such an important vote 'under the table' so to speak when seven board members had left at 11:30 to catch flights home. I guess I question the timing of the vote as to why it was delayed when the full Board was not present. Anyone care to clarify?
