What could make more sense than this???  As an artist, and a 30 year  breeder 
with many champions,  I think the old Illustrated Standard does not  look 
like our dogs today. In my mind, the breed, if not the standard, has  evolved, 
and perhaps still evolving. As Helen says, the illustrations should  reflect 
what we see in the breed ring. I do not care for the NIS, (illustrated  by 
Linda 
Shaw) as in my opinion, the dog the artist says is extremely faulty,  weak, 
etc, is closer to the beautiful German Shepherd we see today in profile.  The 
dog she admires as being "correct" is a very middle of the road common  looking 
pet to my eyes. Can't wait to see the new revised version. Syd
