Thank you Morton for this thoughtful post. Could you share the name of the book? -------Original Message------- From: Janandmort@xxxxxxx Date: 03/13/05 13:42:36 To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Illustrated Standard The illustrations that we have are far outdated thus the impetus for the new. The person chosen -Linda- was chosen for a reason and viewing her sketches she is good. We elected the Board to represent us- the members-have faith in your selection as I am sure a satisfactory version will emerge!! I have been involved with our Breed for 43 years and some how we manage to survive with the Parent club doing it's job-let's give them the freedom to make selections and I am sure we will be apprised and given the opportunity to comment. I have yet to see the perfect German Shepherd and a drawing -sketch- will typify more closely the perfection. There are great illustrations in the book by Drs. Bonetti and Gorriere that are timeless and reflect the present day animal.
