When I think of the GSD standard (ANY standard really), I think of it in two
parts. The WRITTEN Standard, which is set in stone, and the pictoral
standard, which is an artists depiction of what the ideal dog should look like.
So, they are one in the same, and at the same time, they are not. For
example, if the NIS had been continued on with, and today's style was shown as
ideal
in drawn terms, I wouldn't use it. If the style of the dog changed 50 years
from now (Which it will, breeds "evolve" in look), I still wouldn't use it. I
will follow the written word as closely as possible, because, while the IS is
used as a guide to show what a dog should look like conformationally, it
tends to influence a person's perception, because of the picture they are
seeing
on the page. The written word is what it is, if you all understand what I mean.

Please help me,, isn't the illustrated the pictoral of the standard?
Is it something different? IF it is, wouldn't that be changing the standard?
Do we have two standards?
just wanted understand. When you breed, did you use illustrated or
printed? Did it work out for you?
