This is a bigger deal than many might realize. Wikipedia is one of the first
or second links that come up when you type "german shepherd" in Yahoo or
Google. I've edited this page in the past to clarify things....I'm not sure
how to change the pic though and right now there is a god awful picture of a
GSD (I'm sure somebody's nice pet) right on top. If anyone can get in there
and change it that would be great...maybe a pic of a stacked show dog would be
a nice change of pace.

Something to take our minds off the infighting...
I took a computer course this week showing many different tools that can be
used with the internet. Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts...... Anyways, I visited
the Wikipedia site and just had to look at the German Shepherd section (go
figure). What I learned is that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that
anyone can add to or change. Of course the first thing that I changed was
the picture of the German Shepherd. Guess someone didn't like it because
they changed it back to a VERY poor (structurally) picture of a Shepherd. I
just changed it back but who knows how long that will stay..... Anyways, I
think that we need to get some information out there that shows correct
structure and correct information. The site is WWW.Wikipedia.com
search German Shepherd Dogs.
