Again, I am confused.  Is there something in the standard for the GSD  that 
says we are to evaluate it for breeding stock?  I just read it again,  and 
maybe my copy is missing something.
 
I don't think that the reproducing ability should be a factor in judging a  
GSD.  I agree with Mort and Jack. I actually had not made up my mind on  
this, but now believe they are right.
 
You just judge the dog on the day you judge them.  I remember one  judge 
saying she remembered the dog had spooked in the past and penalized him  for 
it at her show.  I will just judge what I see, against the standard,  and 
leave the rest to people smarter than me.
 
That is just about everyone.

Because,  dear Evan, RACING is not the same as evaluating breeding stock as 
a 
judge  does.  Racing rewards speed, whether the race be won by a stallion,  
gelding, mare or neutered mare.  The conformation of the animal or  its 
ability to possibly reproduce, doesn't enter into  it.
