You're looking at the NIS from the viewpoint of someone who
has been in the breed for a long time. Try looking at it as someone who
knows
little or nothing about the breed as some new judges and those new to the
breed.
I probably will offend someone, (so, what else is new?), but if you are
using the Illustrated Standard to plan your breeding, I would suggest you not
do
it. The way to learn to breed is to talk to other breeders. What you see is
not what you get.
The Illustrated Standard is not to help with breeding, but to show what to
look for in the show ring when judging. I don't think it was ever meant for the
breeders. If you don't understand the genetics of this breed, no written
document is going to help you with that.
Using the Illustrated Standard to plan a breeding is as good as reading a
pedigree and deciding what to breed to by what you read.
It is like trying to teach a pig to sing. You just frustrate the pig, and
you are bound to fail.
