Those who just breed to the standard do not have to worry about fads or sudden
"insights" promoted by someone or small group because it suits them.

There is a saying that "perception is everything."I think the problem is
not with the reduced membership fee per se as stated that was established
before, but it is with the PERCEPTION that folks with the "color that shall
not be mentioned" are trying to manipulate the vote for their own gain. I
think if the "other color" was encouraging their members to join the GSDCA
and there was not an upcoming vote, it would be a completely different
perception. There is in my opinion no nastiness for questioning their motives,
you would have to be completely stupid not to see that they are tying to
create a block of votes.
Now, here is something else to consider; the timing of the Review article.
The article was written by a judge who happens to be judging the Canadian
national within a month or so. Sly man. He knows that there will be fewer
rebuttals because exhibitors and handlers do not want to jeopardize a
potential win. The re-introduction of the "white" dog is at least the 3rd time
in
the past 35-40 years where one person has tried to dictate to the fancy how
they should be breeding. Each time this has happened the breed has
suffered. In the early 70's it was decided that the over-angulated dog was
what
the breed needed, like lemmings the fancy followed. This clearly hurt the
breeds reputation as the breed went from looking like a strong sturdy working
dog to a style of dog that looked like a ridiculous jack rabbit. Then
around 2002-2008 it was decided that "less angles are better, all dogs should
be
black and red, and temperament doesn't seem to matter much", so yet
another "new style" o
f dog was thrust upon the GSD fancy, again like lemmings, many(or most) of
the fancy followed, I believe because their desire to win was greater than
their desire to protect the breed. Many stud dogs that should have been
being used by breeders sat idle with very few if any breedings and good
bloodlines were lost forever. In fact So many followed that today it has
become
increasingly difficult to find a dog to breed to that does not share the
same bloodline. So here it is in 2013 and now the very same person who
decided that we needed over angulation in the 70's, then in the early to mid
2000's decided for us that less angles, less sidegait was desirable, that
questionable temperament was ok, that all dogs had to be black and red( isn't
that ironic..all these years of orange red dogs and now we need whites!
LOL!) as well as being instrumental in turning the GSD gene pool into a kiddie
pool is now offering up to the fancy yet another direction that the breed
needs to take;
to incorporate the white dog, to fix the damage that was done.
In closing, my advise to white GSD breeders is RUN, away from this..do not
vote to have you dogs part of this. You will ultimately become what the
GSD has become. The GSd has been bastardized and manipulated for profit for
40 years and I blame the fancy for letting it happen! You don't have this
type of manipulation within your color of the GSD. You as breeders should
protect your breed and the integrity of you sport. Don't let yourselves be
sucked into bailing the GSDCA out with a Pollyanna notion of "belonging"
embrace your independence and be proud of it!!!! Christine Grainger
