Just went to the website to take a look at the IS as it stands, (maybe I am missing something with all this talk about the standard on the list) so tell me what needs to be changed, or even improved upon, the illustrations are exact as to the German Shepherd Standard. I see no need to improve upon something that has been in existence for 50 years, and is true to the german shepherd, it is not an opinion , it is illustrated to the Standard. If it ain't broke I see no reason to fix it. JMHO . Diane _www.Debmarsgermanshepherds.com_ (http://www.debmarsgermanshepherds.com/) Home of 1985 GV Ch.
