And another thing, since the GSDCA is the member of the WUSV, the GSDCA holds the reins on foreign judges coming to the States to judge both performance and German style conformation shows, SV hip and elbow ratings, Kohr reports, etc. The WDA has always acted under the GSDCA umbrella and was formed specifically for schutzhund competition.  Under Danny's leadership the WDA made moves to usurp these 'RIGHTS' from the GSDCA. GSDCA and t he SV has refused. The WDA Board also voted to change long standing requirements to allow USA scorebooks into WDA trials and conformation shows [AFTER USA officially banned WDA members from their events].  **************************************************************************** Thanks for the explanation, Suzanne. This make alot of sense for those of us who know a little of the history of SchH USA/WDA/SV/WUSV......Could you explain more about your statement that "the GSDCA holds the reins on foreign judges coming to the States to judge both performance and German style conformation shows, SV hip and elbow ratings, Kohr reports, etc."? What exactly does that mean, and who in the GSDCA is in charge of "holding the reins?
