So the members need an answer. The wording for the changes came from the PC Board. None of us has seen what is to be voted on presently, but I would guess that any change to the section on "Head" involves the color of the nose and the fact that the nose is attached to that particular body part. ;0 Unless something has been written into the "Head" section of the proposed, new Standard such that the nose pigment shall blend with the color of the coat in a blue or liver dog and be solid BLACK in all other colors, this revision will still be a huge gigantic FAIL as the Standard will still be contradicting itself, as it always has. One would think -- since much time and money is being spent to amend the Standard and have a vote -- that it would be high past time to correct this flaw in the Standard's wording, but who really knows what people are thinking? Still, the fact remains that, since neither a blue nor a liver dog can have a BLACK nose, the GSDCA Standard will still be contradicting itself in a pretty big way by putting those colors as a fault in one section and outright DQ'ing them in another. Don't blame me! I wrote BOTH AKC *and* the Board about this very subject. Oh well... LOL! ;0 Hey? Totally off-topic... Can someone in the know (Stormy?) please shoot me an email (private is fine) explaining what the heck all this "redacted sender" stuff is about? Thanks bunches! :) -- Karen C.
