Kathy, before I put a deposit down on one of your blonde rottie pups, I have a couple questions... Are they dumb and do they have more fun? (Sorry. Sorry. I just had to ask. <G>) PaulETTE McGuirt, GSDCA Member Wellborn-Allemande German Shepherds Qui Me Amat, Amat et Canem Meam ----- Original Message ----- From: <Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx> To: <marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; <helenfranklin520@xxxxxxx>; <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 6:13 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: COLOR - Another Solution Does that mean you don't want a blonde rottie?

Just about every Breed has some color and pattern strictions and DQ's. Who gets to pick what doesn't count?? I guess we could all pick something out in that list with every breed and say it does not count......because we love our dogs.....with or without enough wrinkles or ring tails or long drooping ears ........or erect ears.......enough spots.....or too many.....or not........<G> Sure seems easier to just abide by the Standard and maintain and improve what we have.
