There will always be people who make inane statements like this. They can call us any names they want, and say anything they feel like saying. The AKC is still the most respected organization by the majority of the people in the most powerful nation in the world, today. The GSDCA is the most respected specialty club and the strongest one in the major industrial power in the world, today. That is good enough for me. If someone in a hut in Uganda thinks they have a better organization, may they live long and prosper. I am not in the rest of the world. I am a proud member of the GSDCA and show under the AKC rules, and a citizen of the United States of America, still the last of the major super powers. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
