Breeding to the standard would be easy......if everyone interpreted the standard the same way and looked at animals with the same "eyes". It's like being a witness to a crime......everyone "sees" something different. -Kay Reamensnyder and Betty Doerpinghaus -Home of Bedkar German Shepherds -bedkar@xxxxx -Visit our Website: www.bedkargsd.com > To: k9krazz@xxxxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Fw: Re: Re: FW: Nationals> Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 11:26:02 -0500> From: myjoygs@xxxxxxx> > If you breed with the standard in mind, you should win.? Sometimes what is winning isn't always a representative of the standard.? It shouldn't be breed to win, it should be "breed the best German Shepherd you can according to the standard."? My opinion anyway> There is nothing more beautiful then watching a shepherd float across your yard with effortless fluid motion.? Not fast, racing, quick stepping but a slow floating effortless gait.> Herding sheep is not a timed race and the dog and sheep are not racing around the field.? So why is that allowed in the show ring?> > Joyce> > > > > ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
