so,Julie, GSDCA is not sponsoring the German Shepherd club in 2013, but is sponsoring the World Union of GSD clubs(WUSV), of which we, as well as all the other worlds' GSD clubs (as well as AScA) are a part. But if AKC accepts Working Dog Trials this month, wouldn't it behoof GSDCA to consolidate WDA BEFORE the centennial and the World trials to let the world know that we are one Club again,and not separated by a false link? Wouldn't that be a noteworthy event?
