Maybe we are not yet ready to control out own breeds future in the
UK. There is far too much of a casual and tinkering attitude and not
enough intelligent forethought, planning and strategy.
Some rethinking and reorganisation is
clearly required.
I believe we need to fully support
our dynamic
WUSV member Club - The GSD LEAGUE, however we may need to form the GSDL/WUSV
section exclusively for our Regional Events, etc. with this organisation
taking us forward.
This would be the cohesive basis for
our well organised and well planned future for GSD in the UK, which
must fully embrace intelligent forethought, planning and strategy.
I see such an organisation being
responsible for Our Regional Events, our British Sieger and our GSD
Breed Survey.
I also see such an organisation forming a National
Consultative Council drawn eventually from Regional Consultative Councils and
establishing Sections for the various fundamental requirements of
our GSDL/WUSV System, namely:
a. "Identification Requirements
(microchip/tattoo/DNA parentage"
b.
"Health Requirements"
c.
"Working & Training Requirements"
d.
"Communication Requirements"
e. "Explore a SV - UK GSD Registration System"
f.
"GSDL/WUSV & KC Consultations"
g. "Breed Survey
Requirements" & "Breed Surveyors Meetings".
These may be separated
or connected as considered necessary or useful.
It may look daunting, however I am
sure it looks and sounds more complex and demanding than it would
actually be. By establishing such an organisation it would offer a
very promising future for our GSD breed here in Great Britain..
