This is from the Judges -List, After all the hub-bub about changing our Illustrated Standard,both in picture and wording( Thank god,it was not changed) Thought you might like to see what a Corgi judge said --that ours is one of the better written ones--- Helen Miller Fisher A GSD that over reaches underneath is exactly what is called for in the Standard of the breed. The GSD Standard is one of the better written Standards, period. Too bad very few are still breeding for what is stated in the Standard, but that's another thread of discussion entirely. Just because a dog oversteps underneath does not automatically mean he crabs - that would have to be assessed on the down and back. As long as the spine is still in a straight line parallel to forward motion, the dog can over reach underneath and still not crab. **************************************Check out AOL's list of 2007's hottest products.
