I remember the letter from Germany. They demanded we adopt their standard
in place of ours, or we would not be allowed to call our dogs German
shepherds.
I suggested we call them schaeferhundes instead.

SV "It was up to the SV, whose breeders were already supplying animals
throughout the world, to strengthen the links with associations in other
countries. In 1968, the Association introduced an initiative that firstly
aimed
to promote international co-operation in all fields, and secondly aimed to
conserve the uniformity of the breed. For the time being, its objective
was to form a Europe-wide union of the associations in the neighbouring
countries."
