Laura,
Thank you for partially answering my questions before I even posted them. Makes WDA sound like a "phantom" entity <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> .
My concerns are purely practical--I was planning to title my puppies at a WDA trial this fall and now I'm not so sure. Do you have any idea as to when SV may reach a decision? And if AKC does accept biting sports, where does that leave USA? Basically, can you, or anyone else, give me a synopsis of what's going on, the implications, and prognosis--without prejudice? I hate to spend time and money on titles that may become worthless... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
So if the AKC chooses to send a team to the IPO FCI Championships then this will leave AWDF holding the the empty bag?
If (when) AKC gets the MWP going, then the GSDCA will have as much right to send a team as USA; thus we are back to the spilt team issue; I am correct in saying this.
I have also heard rumour that the SV may just absorb USA as a LG instead of a different enitity all together, like the DVG does. Any comments?

That is IF the FCI recogizes (for lack of a better word) the AKC and everyone who currently comprises the AWDF continues on under AKC leadership (or lack thereof). If the AKC were to send MWP dogs to the FCIs from the ARC (Rots), ABMC (Mals) or the DPCA (Dobes)....Good Luck :rolleyes:
-Sarcasm-.
I think the USA should have done this from the get go (been an LG of the SV). I feel that the organizational structure of the DVG and DVG America is much clearer b/c the US is simply and LG of the existing organization. I mean the USA and the SV have the same goals and the USA uses SV Judges and strives to conform to SV breed regulations, so why not simply be an LG of the SV. JMO.

I suspect that would end up a humiliation that would be talked about for decades. :rolleyes: My guess is it wouldn't change a thing! The people who spend the big bucks and some who make their living and put bread on their table by being good at this sport are NOT going to stand by and be left out. I'd bet they'd join whatever organization they needed to in order to be eligible to compete again.

We have some of USA's national competitiors competing in thier National's for a spot. While USA normally fields a better team, it is likley that if AWDF is not allowed to send a team and AKC does, most people will cave in and go onboard of the AKC team. If not that then newer people wil step in and take the lead.

As long as there is a team , and only one team, it will not matter what oranization sends them.
I'm not very political so don't keep up too well with that stuff, but I'd swear that option to become an LG was proposed, investigated and shot down convincingly by the SV several years ago.
