The WUSV is owned and run by the SV ... period. The president of the SV is also president of the WUSV and almost all of the WUSV congresses are held in Germany, the Benelux, or Austria ( Germany's neighbors and close allies ). Germany has the biggest voting block as each country gets 1 vote for each 1000 members ( Germany had around 60 votes representing 60K SV members ) plus those on the board who are almost all German or German allies make decisions, set the Congress agenda and vote in the congresses. In any WUSV vote Germany has complete control of a majority through it's own membership and close allies plus Germany controls what is allowed to be discussed or voted on. Germany has complete control of the WUSV and the WUSV was in fact set up by the SV to extend the SV brand and control outside German borders just as the FCI was set up to extend the power of the European breed clubs and Kennel clubs outside Europe. The WUSV is all about marketing, money, and political power for the SV. It is all smoke and mirrors with the WUSV trying to sell their "world championship" as one idiot put it "as the Olympics of IPO" when it fact it is the IPO championship of GSD which belong to the WUSV and that is all. The FCI IPO "world" games is better in that it is all breed but it is still not world wide nor can all participate.

I know my dogs I know which i can take and which ones i can,t. You can step out of your front door and get hit by a bolt of lighting. The breed is supposed to be safe in crowds, situations ect. We have been going to Nursing Homes, Church groups, Public outings, ect... for years. Yes i,m well aware that things can happen but i trust my dogs. The more work you expose them to the better chance you have of accidents not happening.

The dog does not have to be engaged in "biting" or "bite-work" to be denied a claim.  Even if he simply knocks a lamp over and it injures someone, the insurance company can still play the "bite-work trained" card and deny the claim, leaving you on-the-hook for damages, out of pocket.  I understand why you think you are being safe while taking the risk, but I don't understand why the nursing home would allow it or believe your interpretation of how an insurance claim would work.

It,s never been an issue, they are very inviting and always ask us to return.

I also carry a I million dollar liability umbrella policy over my self that includes my dogs.

Bubba, are you against the power of majority ?
1000 members = 1 vote, makes sense to me. Why don´t you like that?
There are far more people and dogs in the US than in Germany.
Pretty easy: As soon as they become members they are able to outvote us - no problem.
They are not interested? No problem, too - but in this case no voice.
Are you against democracy?

I carry a similar policy, but that still doesn't change anything I've said.  But this is off topic, PM me if you have dealt with a real claim before because I'm curious how your believed outcome can be so different from what I have seen actually happen.

The WUSV is what it is .. a political and marketing organization of the SV. Majority rule is fine so long as the minority has a voice but organizations such as the WUSV control what their membership says rather than the membership controlling the organization. The American Working Dog Federation is another organization exactly the same as the WUSV and set up and run in the same way by the USCA as a way to exert political control and exclude other GSD organizations. The primary mission of setting up the AWDF was to have a way to access FCI IPO and other biting sports for US competitors that did not allow the GSDCA and WDA to participate. For thirty years the leadership of the USCA and the AWDF operated a revolving door with the leadership of the USCA and the AWDF being the same.  Of late that seems to have changed and that is for the better.  The USCA learned their cheating, dirty tricks and corruption from the SV and WUSV.  The GSDCA and the AKC may put a stop to some of these games from the USCA and AWDF as the AKC and the GSDCA now have as much or more claim as the legitimate organization to send teams to the FCI world championships including biting sports now that the GSDCA and the AKC have once agin recognized biting sports after decades of ignoring them.  The AWDF was a back door attempt to have something like FCI in the USA while restricting access to FCI biting sport entries to just AWDF membership .. the organization spilled all kinds of lies about being an affiliate or a applicant member of the FCI .. all a bunch of lies.  The present leadership of the AWDF seems to be doing better and to an outsider at least the organization is not as corrupt.
