Lately, I have seen so many dogs with weak temperaments, shy, sharp, dog aggressive, etc., plus dogs that are dying young from health issues, dogs that look like bitches, weak ears, curly tails, etc.....I'd rather have a white toe than some of these other issues ANY day! Over the last several years I've seen more bitches that look like males then the reverse. Along a similar vain though...I see a LOT of huge male heads that just don't look very shepherd like. They look course & far from noble. Either way head too big-head or too fine its still not a very big problem in the big picture.
