You are both correct.
I also said.... ( a beautiful dog is always a beautiful dog )
Seems my point is misunderstood though...as I was NOT negative
about the float...I did not even see the float.
I was responding because someone also posted that the reporters or
commentators were told to refer to the dog as a "King" Shepherd".
After going to the site of "king Shepherds" I stand by my statement
that it is too bad that people will see the "King" Shepherd BREED
( as it is requested that it be referred as ) ...as a representative
of our Breed instead of "The German Shepherd Dog."

Subject:re GSD float? GSD??
thank you, helen. it was a beautiful dog on a beautiful float - i doubt
that anyone else is worried about what the dog was "called." it looked
like
a GSD - that is all that the attendees will remember. thank you,
diane

I think that negative comments are amusing. As a previous "parade goer" I
can tell you that the floats pass by in a matter of less than a minute or
so, and all you are left with is an *impression* of what you just saw!
Just as you take in the delights of one float, another one comes along, or
a band or something else to absorb your mind. If you happen to question
the parade attendees' they will tell you ONLY about the German Shepherd on
the police float and the dogs walking around it. They will have absolutely
no knowledge of who bred what or why and will care even less! The dog did
look like a German Shepherd, and there were some great pictures on
Facebook. It was a good advertisement for the breed because all people
will remember is police and the proud GSD representing them.

.....After checking out the web site as suggested....It appears to me
to be self promotion of a breeder who LIKE SO MANY.. has gone off on
promoting a specific fault in the Breed....even to the point of
developing yet another "Breed Standard." (surprise!) <G>
She refers to them as a "King Shepherd BREED"...and even has her own
American King Shepherd Club.
Until we respect our own Standard and work to tighten up on our own
German Shepherd Dog Breed Standard instead of "loosening it" to make
even small faults more acceptable...and begin to promote the Breed
as it is supposed to be..this type of promo will always continue to
get more attention from the general public.
AH well......
