Does anyone know why the GSDCA Board has/is deliberately prohibiting the GSDCA 
membership from voting on the issue of "not objecting" to the white coated dogs 
to be established in the AKC FSS program as a  separate breed?
How can 19 people prevent thousands of GSDCA members from voicing their opinion 
on such an important matter?      Why is this item not on the upcoming ballot?  
I would really appreciate an answer from a board member.   The proposed 
standard change does not address this and this is an entirely separate issue. 

As of now the holdup to the white dogs entering into the FSS is a letter from 
the GSDCA to the AKC stating they do not object to establishing the White 
Shepherd as a new breed in the FSS. 

Did you know there are NO provisions in the by-laws to require the Board to 
send an item out to a membership vote unless it is an item dealing with the 
standard or the by-laws?    What happens to other very important items that do 
not fit within these two categories?

What does it take to request an emergency Board meeting?   Would it not be 
possible for the board to hold an emergency meeting to add this item to the 
ballot before they are mailed out in August?

If the Board thinks we are intelligent  enough to vote on the proposed standard 
change what is preventing them from allowing us to vote on the other White 
issue? 

Thank you, 
Melanie Fuellgraf
