you then  hand
out our present Illustrated Standard and the attendees ask if the I.S.  is of
the German Shepherd?  There is a marked difference between  todays GSD and
the GSD of 50 years ago when the present I.S. was  illustrated



I would be glad to give a seminar if asked.  And, if our  I.S. is so bad, 
stop handing it out.  I have judged the 250 breeds at ARBA  for years, and 
never 
asked for and never needed an illustration. I just read the  standard used by 
the breed club.  
 
We have one of the best written standards in the world.   If a judge is so 
stupid they can't read and understand it, let them judge  another breed.
 
Our dogs don't look like illustrations, they are a picture in  motion, and no 
drawing will ever be able to show that anyway.  I have  nothing against using 
an illustration, but since the one we have used now for 50  years is so 
terrible, (or at least some think it is), then throw it away, insist  that 
judges 
read our standard, and if they don't understand it, don't enter  under them.
 
Some how we have managed to get good dogs finished, great dogs  Select, and 
not that many inferior dogs finishing.  How bad could the  Illustration have 
been?  Or, maybe no one was looking at it.
 
Do we think if we had a perfect illustration that there would  no longer be 
bad judging by stupid judges?  Maybe so.
 
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
