Resolve the WDA/USCA - Page 5

Ad nauseum but again:

From the GSDCA Bylaws verbatim:

b. To urge members and breeders to accept that standard of the breed, as approved by the American Kennel Club, as the only standard of excellence by which the German Shepherd Dog shall be judged.

(This of course means no titles, conformation ratings, AD, hips, elbows, or Koer; just "purely" bred and AKC registered parents as its "standard")


From the WUSV Consitution:

Section 12

Duties of the member associations
 

(1) The member associations are OBLIGATED to:

 

a) recognizing the racial features of the German Shepherd as stipulated by the SV;
 

b) recognizing the Breeding Book for German Shepherds and the Book of Selection for Breeding Purposes of the SV as mother country of the breed...
 

c) control of breeding, raising, owning and training on the basis of the regulations of the SV;

I like rules too, Bubba.  Especially the most basic requirements (or interest???) for membership by which the GSDCA in no way complies except through an "affiliation" for its minority membership.

All GSDCA needed do was issue a scorebook which they will not because they abhor the SV standard; or get Herr Henke to turn his own "rules" on their ear.  

The final word(s) are all your's, sir.  

Best to all,

Sorry .. I think you know the letter was written by Daniel Yee ..

Please have the leadership of the USCA file a complaint with the WUSV if the leadership and membership of the USCA feel that the GSDCA is in violation of that thingey ?? .. Oh yes it's called the constitution about how it is done.  Probably a good idea to do that just as soon as you clean up your own bylaws and regulations to meet the existing WUSV constitution.  If the GSDCA needs to make changes I think it is safe to say that the WUSV can read and speak English quite fluently and will bring the problems to the attention of the GSDCA in a manner and time of their choosing.  The next WUSV meeting would be a good place to introduce a resolution that deals with all of the WUSV member clubs that don't do whatever it is the USCA thinks they should do and let the membership vote yes or no on resolving to toss them out of the WUSV if they don't shape up.  Before you do that however you might want to look at dogs considered "correct" in other member club countries and decide which countries should be included .. there could be quite a few as not every WUSV member club seems to agree with the USCA interpretation of the GSD breed including many in the SV.  That might be a problem??

Dr. Henke, Mr Yee and Mr Alloway just finsihed a meeting in Germany.

Working late then 6 hours later there from EST so 1:00 AM Saturday morning

Wonder what was agreed too, and where the clubs will go from here.

Time will tell.

The one thing I am confident that was agreed to is that the USCA is going to obey the constitution of the WUSV and honor all resolutions passed by the WUSV members in meeting.  That covers 2012 Ulm and 2010 Nurenburg which USCA has refused to obey despite voting for both.  If the WUSV choses to expel the GSDCA and GSDCA-WDA that would take a 2/3 majority of the WUSV members voting in session which did not happen today.  The SV controls 64 votes of a possible 280 when membership votes.  The USCA has 5 votes.

A warm and  hardy ''thank you'' to Jim Alloway for taking the time to go to Germany to meet face to face with Herr Henke. This is the effort and attitude required to lead the GSD following in the USA.  I hope Mr Yee can see the genuine energy from this new President of UScA and we move forward in this country to better our breed. I am certain UScA will redouble  the work of being an advocate for our breed and the one standard which unites all GSD organization. I am certain all  itelligent men can see this for themselves.

Actions speak louder than words!  I am sure the low blow to Henke about "clear and honest communication" was discussed during the meeting.  It is not the USCA's position in the WUSV or the USA GSD community to lead anyone but themselves.  The SV has more than 60,000 members in Germany so I am sure they have much more experience in protecting the GSD breed than the USCA.  All of the WUSV member clubs are obliged to obey the will of the membership as expressed in resolutions and the WUSV constitution as a condition of membership.   The SV president is also the WUSV president so I doubt there is any lost communication between the SV and the WUSV.  I am betting that the SV and the WUSV will correct any mistakes being made by all WUSV members worldwide in their own time and in a manner consistent with the WUSV constitution.  The USCA has a voice as a member club and has five votes to cast from the membership voting number of 280 maximum potential votes.  The leadership and membership of the WUSV is in capable hands.  That should make it easier for the USCA to concentrate on obeying the resolutions and constitution of the WUSV.  If you read the letter from Herr Henke and look at the WUSV meeting minutes you must know that this problem was discussed in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012.  The USCA leadership had years to correct the problem and chose to ignore the resolutions and constitutional amendment that the USCA was obliged to follow based on all of these actions prior to the letter from Herr Henke to USCA and Alloway.  The problems were created by the USCA starting in 2003 and now it is the duty of the USCA leadership to correct a long and inexplicable injustice committed as an act of selfishness.  Many thanks to Herr Henke as well as the leadership and membership of the SV and WUSV for righting a wrong that had lingered years too long.  It is a shame that the correct solution had to be forced on the leadership and membership of the USCA rather than there being a concensus for correct actions from within.
