I have to agree with #16. What are the driving reasons for these purposes changes? Money? Trying to increase the membership? Create more involvement with new people? Granted these are the hope for improvements, but at what cost. It sounds like another division or group within the parent club. I hit most shows every weekend and I can't say I see much involvement from the WDA members and visa-versa. Somehow I can't see a future white long coat Grand Victor helping the above needs. I love these dogs white, long coat or just the way it is.
My suggestion is better education about the long coat issue as stated in the present standard. And maybe asking the white GS club to have there National the day after ours? I'll be happy to show to support there cause.
