A few months ago, UKC put out an article explaining that they would be  
changing the standard for several breeds of dogs, and would be going  
through the standards of all of them.  This came closely behind the  
fiasco at Crufts, with several Breed Champions (whatever they call  
them) not being allowed to advance after being examined by a "vet."

Different than AKC, UKC owns the standards, not the clubs.  And yes,  
this was originally pushed by the PDE hullabaloo and subsequent events  
in Europe.  YOu would have to go to the UKC website to learn more.  It  
is on there.  The GSD is one of those that they altered the standard.

Does anyone know when UKC started requiring pictures to single  
register a GSD?  I just tried to register my puppy with them and I  
received a letter stating they could not complete the registration  
until they confirmed with 3 pictures (one from the front and both  
sides, clearly showing the tail and any important details) before they  
would approve the application.  I won't mention they already ran my  
credit card, so now I'm really peeved!!  Since when do you charge  
someone money for services not even rendered yet?!

I was told on the phone they needed to confirm the dog met the breed  
standard before they would allow the registration.  Is this a result  
of that Purebred Dogs Exposed?  Is this more scrutiny we are now under  
as a result of the AR jerks?!

I love to show in UKC shows, but I will not give them a single entry  
nor a cent of my money if this is the direction they are headed in.

Guess this maybe one more reason why my days in this sport are numbered.

Sorry, but I had to vent.  I would be interested if anyone knows  
though or has any feedback.
