Previously Posted by Jamie -"Hi Scott...you may not like what I'm going to 
say, but I have to say itanyway.  Our illustrated standard is a good one. 
It's the very one we allcut ourteeth on and remains true to what the design 
of the GSD was meant to be.The fact that most of our dogs today do not look 
like the Illustrated Standard
means to me that we have gone off course in many ways."

I happen to agree with Jamie... BUT...

How does one explain the dogs being shown today compared to the Illustrated 
Standard?

Especially to a new person. I was talking with a gal last weekend that is a 
licensed judge. She is starting to add Herding breeds, and the subject of 
the GSD came up.

I find it difficult to jibe the dogs in the ring with the picture shown in 
the Illustrated Standard

Putting my flame suit on, running for cover....
Answer? if the dogs in the ring don't match the standard, then logic would 
dictate that's where to start changing things. We don't change the standard 
to match what's in the ring.
