This is one of the Best posts I've seen on this from the first sentence to the very last. 100% RIGHT ON in my opinion! Worded so much better than I have been able to do with many posts! THIS IS WORTH MUCH MORE THAN 2 cents!!!! <G> Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.marhaven.com -- From: On Behalf Of ALL4MORIAH@xxxxxxx Subject: aussies The Mini Aussies are actually being registered as Miniature American Shepherds. Therefore, separate breed. I personally am not in favor of changing our standard for the sake of money. I feel the parent club could wind up losing more members than we would gain. I personally have nothing against White Shepherds, but then I have nothing against Dobermans and Dachshunds, they just don't fit in our standard. The people with the Whites chose to breed away from the standard, therefore they created their own separation. I feel that they should be registered as White Shepherd Dogs. While I'm at it. You have no idea how many times I've had people ask me, "Is it true that The GSD Nationals offered a class for faulted Dogs?" Laughing while they are asking. Just my 2 cents.
