If you consider the importance of it and you feel this is a valid and important 
Breed
Standard to adhere to...I do not consider bringing up something so ridiculous 
as an 
incorrect body part as "making fun"......so much as a Standard of no 
importance.   This 
List ( by it's very name ) supposedly consists of serious and concerned 
Breeder/ Exhibitors 
that DO adhere to the importance of a Breed Standard.......the AKC Breed 
Standard.
Admittedly I have never read this Breed Standard before....but at a quick 
glance I cannot
consider it an important issue that it has also accepted whites as an official 
color of the
German Shepherd Dog.
If this UKC GSD Breed Standard supposedly is a Standard telling people exactly 
what  a 
German Shepherd Dog should be .....and that breeders are expected to adhere to 
it....It
would seem they would know the correct anatomy of a GSD........or any dog.
There is no such thing as a rear pastern on any dog  any more than we have a 
'leg elbow'.


Also..read carefully how the movement is described also....."the rear leg, 
moving forward,
swings under the foreleg"........??   Yet........we all know the driving rear 
thrust drives the rear
foot forward....with the foot outside the front foot on one side, and inside 
the front foot on the 
other side so as not to intefere with the front foots lifting off the ground in 
it's follow through
as it leaves it's grounded position ......( it even mentions  that in the next 
sentence )
Also........I'm not sure we can describe "cheeks" on a GSD as slightly 
rounded.......nor do
you remove the front dew claws on a "natural"  Breed as the GSD is supposed to 
be.


Without even addressing the "Revised" date as May 1, 2012....The importance of 
ANY 
Breed Standard is that it be correct.

  Is there a reason for making fun?  I know many people who refer to the hock 
as the rear pastern.
  I think the important part is that the UKC standard is addressing a serious 
functional issue.
