Report of the Program Rules Committee

June 5, 2013

The Program Rules Committee met by conference call to discuss the Kennel Group rule as proposed by Mr. Henkel at the April, 2013 Board meeting. Although the committee was mindful of possible effects on close family members breeding as a ‘team’, the committee recommends that the rule be approved without change, i.e.:

Each Kennel Group must have no more and no less than 5 dogs that are registered with

the same breeder and the exact same kennel name. Only one person may be identified on the dog’s registration as the breeder. The dogs must come from at least two different sires and two different dams. The maximum difficulty is four fathers and four mothers. The dogs in the kennel group must also complete a regular class. The dogs must be of the same coat variety. The breeder, however, is free to enter more than one group. The breeder must be a current GSDCA-WDA member in good standing.

We can all make the GSDCA-WDA better, but remember . . . The Breed Must Come First.

Respectfully submitted, David P. Landau Chair, Program Rules Committee
