I vote to restore the Standard and restore the CHIC. This breed does NOT need to be cheapened or sold out! A good, healthy, sound GSD is well above color!! I am also sick and tired of unhealthy, drugged, dyed, Selects who can't pass our simple TC! That is a shame! I can count, on one hand, the kennels in this country that I would risk buying a GSD from.
