more answers patty said tina's reply rotf talk about smoke mirrors wow now let's look at some varifiable facts the issr was formed to continue the data collection that i started in when it was set up i had documented data on my breeding stock going all the way back to the 's all of this was incorporated into the issr database therefor the information that we have goes back for over years not as you have stated the issdc r did not start till and was closed down in most of those breeders scattered at that point some returning to the issr via the amnesty while others went back to breeding akc gsd's etc only the nsbr started another 'registry' that most of the former issdc r breeders did not agree with because her rules were so lax this is a copy of the legitimate document sent to mr cavanaugh president of the ukc please take a moment to review a few highlights from the is that correct does this mean that all gsd mixes may now enter your new breed ukc shiloh shepherd genepool colleen gott states on her website that how can you consider this hodgepodge as a legitimate breed definition what does german shepherd family mean any gsd mix the fact that you would even consider recognizing this motley mix as a separate breed is an insult not only to the definition of breed but also to every owner of a purebred dog furthermore let's take a good look at the word breed i don't think that anyone will dispute that every credible organization does not consider a dog to be purebred unless it has at least generations of pure lineage yet these registries constantly encourage outcrossing nice word for mixing in anything in order to produce more pups please take a look at this quote from the above mentioned letter even the hybrid breeders are not pleased with this development because the serious ones take great care in properly screening their prospective new owners and properly socializing all of the pups they produce please take a moment to read just one short excerpt that explains how most of them feel the wolf is at the door inc what's in a name
