I find a need to comment at this time. The Facebook page that the FORMER president of the GSDCA-WDA and the owner of that page, is NO longer a WDA or GSDCA member. Posts on this page do not represent the membership of the WDA. That page is very misleading to the average reader. The title of that page, GSDCA-WDA, has no affiliation with either organization. Danny Spreitler is the individual that controls that page.. He is now a member of United Schutzhund Clubs of America. It is no secret that he is not a lover of the WDA or the GSDCA. Some of the people that post to that page are members of the GSDCA-WDA. That HANDFUL of people do not speak for the membership of the GSDCA-WDA. The board of the WDA wants to work with the GSDCA on putting on a first class event for the 2013 World Trials. In my opinion, the purpose of that facebook page is to continually attack the new leadership of the WDA and stop these two organizations from working together for the betterment of our breed. The easiest way to stir up the members of the GSDCA is to attack the American Bred dog. I'm a member of the GSDCA for 34 years, I've owned and bred many Champions, ROM's, and two Selects. I am also now seated on the board of the WDA as a General Director. To this day I own American Bred dogs and Imports and this is not the feeling of the people I associate with. The GSDCA is the host for the 2013 World Trials and the WDA members are working on this event because they are more familiar with the sport of schutzhund competition. To not attend or offer to assist on this event injures the GSDCA. Dan Yee, who is the President Elect of the WDA will take office in January. He is also the chair of the 2013 World Trial and working closely with the incoming President of the GSDCA to make this a premier event. This event is not about American Dogs vs Imports, it is about the best working schutzhund dogs in the world competing for their countries.
