PARENT CLUB REPORT – GDCA:
Report submitted by Sue Shaw, Affiliate Delegate:
-There is a new Great Dane CD on the Great Dane.available
for purchase from the Parent Club. The Club has bought a copy and this may
provide a good educational tool at future Club meetings. There is also the copy
of the 2008 yearbook out.
-Sue distributed the GDCA Standard Committee October 2009 brochure. The proportion change the standard committee is suggesting is to eliminate the 50/50 proportion and indicate that the Great Dane “will appear square.” The 5th proposal on the harlequin color is that “merle patches are normal.”
