Great post. Longworth was just down the road from us in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He bred on whites up to the time the breed standard was changed. I wanted to suggest another book, expecially for the beginner. It is German Shepherd Dog (clever name) by Cindy Victor through Dog Life. I love the fact checker for the book. Even if she did miss a few points.
