I agree, the standard is fine, we just need to breed more in line to the standard for everything movement, head, temperament etc. In my opinion nothing needs to change. We don't adapt the standard to what is out there we adapt our breedings to the standard the way it should be. Like Carolyn said perfection is hard to breed but we should breed as close as we can get to it. : ) MYJOY SHEPHERDS Joyce Willis -----Original Message----- From: Carolyn Martello <marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: dmarc-noreply <dmarc-noreply@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; showgsd-l <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, May 20, 2014 11:22 am Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Standard proposals Exactly what would you like changed in the Standard in egards to the head Theresa?? You know...just because we see less than ideal heads in the ing does not mean the Standard is incorrect. It just means here are less than ideal heads occasionally on a great dog. ust because we see some light eyes...does not mean the tandard is wrong...or bad feet or weak pasterns or a soft ear. e cannot change the Standard just because there is less than erfection in the ring. ctually....gorgeous heads are one of the easiest parts of the GSD here is to breed. Forget beautiful shoulders and great backs and ice croups that all come together in an athletic easy long striding ogs...( with great feet, ears, eyes, coat, tail, etc....WITH great emperament and correct croups and loins ) and breed great heads... hat would be the easiest thing there is to do.....<G> Our Standard is just about perfect the way it is....it needs not hanges or re-wording. PERFECTION is just hard to breed!!

I hope it is to place only GSDs hat represent a correct head. It is clear to me that fast movement whether orrect or not seems to win over the first thing you look at in a dog their ead.
