Carolyn Martello has done illustrations that are wonderful representations of our breed. One that offends me on the NIS is page 32 where it says excessive angulation posed............GET REAL !!! EXCESSIVE......................??????????????? I am NOT saying we should use overangulated extreme illustrations but come on is this really a step up from our current standard ?? Why waste $10,000.00 if it's not done right..............we should be portraying our breed in the best possible light. The posed and gaiting GSD's on the NIS on the website are pathetic looking, i could go into a whole list of what is wrong with them but you all have eyes and can see whats hitting you right in the face............ I do see some that are being replaced,, but the ones that aren't being replaced ?? I say if this is what it's going to be then stick with the old one and don't waste $10,000.00 Please board members i know that someone has put alot of work into this and i hate to belittle them or make them feel badly, however please think about voting "NO" on this NIS...............it's a waste of money and a poor representation of our lovely breed!!!
