All things being equal. I prefer a correct size dog according to the st=

What do we think of a large dog, that moves like a medium size one? Or a
standard sized one that can't gait his way out of the same paper bag, wet or
dry? What about a larger shepherd that moves to the standard? What is wrong
with that?
I have seen some fantastic moving dogs, that were over the standard. It is
reasonable to insist that the standard can't be changed, or that it must be
exactly followed. But, let's not get trapped into thinking that a dog has to
be within the standard to move correctly. Ceasar von Carahaus come to mind. I
doubt he was within the standard. I remember him as a very small dog. But,
what a fantastic moving Grand Victor.
