The Standard is not changed ....so far..... <G> and I don't believe it needs to
be
changed!! However...occasionally artwork is not always up to par as far
as interpretation. Case in point would be the Parent Club Logo drawing.
Remember it had "that head" that was an artists interpretation for many years.
but that oesn't mean it was the best drawing.....so it was recently changed I
think.
No one wants to use an actual dog for an interpretation because then you get
into favoritism, jealousy, dislike, egos, etc......so we have to use artists.
The problem is that it IS ART.......the artist must have a clear understanding
of
a decent dog, a good dog or an outstanding dog. Now we have to decide what
we want to represent our incredible Breed down through the ages.
