The Standard does not change for one reindeer with a German name and a red nose and he adds to the overall good of the team. Afterall, how many red-nosed reindeer are out there? Where would we be without Rudolph leading the way? How would Santa see where he is going? No, there should not be a limit to the number of reindeer. There are more people in the World now than in the 1800's. Santa needs the help of strong and worthy reindeer. I say the Standard hasn't changed, just the need for more diversity. Go Santa! Go Reindeer! Go GSD's! Oh, comeon. No one believes a raindeer can have a red nose. Or would that be a snow nose in raindeer?
