JMHO,( that I do not share very often,) but the Illustrated Standard is too important to just let go. Diane ****************************************************************************** **************************** It is all in the interpretation. I can tell you when you compare ours to others we sure don't come across looking very good. Also, you should hear the remarks from judges and new people applying for the breed when they see what we have to offer. It does not even come close to compare in education or quality to what the other breeds are providing their new judges. Even if we were to decide to keep the one as is we should still do a reprint, have color photos and put it in booklet form rather than just a couple of loose sheets.
