For me there are two that immediately come to mind. As a wonderful combination of strength, harmony, balance, and elegance it would be Mystique, not to mention the fact that she was such an incredible ambassador for our breed. My personal all-time favorite representative of the standard is Grand Victrix Ch.Aloha von Bid Scono. tom elkins Firethorn Temple http://www.firethorntemple.com -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cyndy Sent: Sunday, July 27, 2008 6:24 PM To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Question - Which Dog Is Closest to the Standard? Before you answer, 1. Read the standard. 2. Think about all dogs, past and present, and choose one who you think most closest represents the standard. 3. Please don't name your own dog, as we all know our dogs are perfect. :) I think this will be a good exercise, good for the old timers to brush up on the standard, and for the newbies to test their skills and learn from the old timers. :) Should be fun!
