bump!!!

The number of signatures is increasing, a good thing. I am more suprised by the names I don't see since some of the missing people are the ones who generally make the most noise here about following the rules and how very vital it is to only breed from breedworthy dogs who have met the test and excelled. I assume they are not members or have decided to not reveal their names.

Can a list of of non UScA members be made as well? There are many here that are not current members because of matters like this. Membership voices should be heard. However, I believe there is another larger voice from the GSD world that can contribute as well.

Stonehaus,
I think that is a good idea. Maybe it would USA an idea of how many members they might gain if it were shown the organization is responsive to its existing membership.
Currently, you can well imagine how full my plate is. Between phone calls, emails, posting, my job that supports my schutzhund habit, my dogs, training, the better half, and the pesky cat, my time is limited.
Creating a Petition at ipetition.com is very easy and does not cost anything.
To The Membership of USA:
We have an increasing amount of signatures, but we need more!! For those who have already taken the step to be heard and placed their name on the petition, I ask that you contact 3 people and ask them to sign the petition as well. We can create a tidal wave with this. We are making a TRULY wonderful start. WE NEED MORE SIGNATURES. Yesterday, in less than 24 hours a hundred names were placed on that petition. The word is getting out, and we need to speak louder! Let's get 300 signatures on that list by midnight!

I consider the people who sign this petition TRULY the GUARDIANS OF THE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG!

Greetings to the Membership! I thought I would provide you with an update on how the petition is going. In less than 24 hours a hundred names were added to the petition. I think that is a very good accounting for the first 24 hours. I have received numerous emails and telephone calls from many, who offer support, encouragement, differing views, and explanations of why they will not sign the petition. I have sent the petition document at the request of many, to be signed live. So, please do not think that because the online petition is slowly gathering support it is falling to the wayside. That is truly not the case. For every name added to that petition, our collective voice grows stronger! I have emailed every officer in every region along with the club contacts in every region. Amazingly enough, for the emails that did not get caught in SPAM, I only had one Club Contact email me back saying to take them off my solicitation list. Tsk Tsk Tsk I wish to thank those of you who have already added your name and comments to the list. Now, I set to you a fairly easy challenge. We all know we send emails back and forth daily to our club members and other clubs. So, take a minute to add the link of the petition to your email, and ask them to sign it. 100 signatures in under 24 hours, that is amazing! now if everyone who signed the petition talked to 3 other members and those members signed, we would have 10% of the membership of USA on the petition. WE have already done a lot and there will be more to do in the coming weeks. Sorry, I will not let this fall to the wayside as it has in previous years. Apparently, there are over 100 other members, so far, who will not either. So, with that said, STAND UP! SPEAK OUT! BE HEARD!

Our club officer, forwarded it to all club members, so we are doing our part too.

It is quite a paradox and a sad reflection on the organization when the membership of a Schutzhund club has to petition the executive board to enforce the rules.
The mission statement and goals of the UScA club from the front page of their website:
"We are dedicated to protecting and preserving the German Shepherd Dog's working heritage through Schutzhund training. Schutzhund is a sport that focuses on developing and evaluating those traits in dogs that make them more useful and happier companions to their owners.
The purpose of Schutzhund is to demonstrate the dog's intelligence and utility. It also measures the dog's mental stability, endurance, structural efficiencies, ability to scent, willingness to work, courage, and trainability."
This might be a good time for the UScA Head Judge to review the goals of the organization whose rules he is charged with upholding.
