I think it is interesting that they can get away with claiming that this is an "instructional" or "educational" site...it is actually just advertising his oversized dogs and pointing out that ALL other German Shepherds are wrong...no matter what country they are from. His site "instructs" in his opinion, which is that all dogs that fit the Standard with respect to size are incorrect............... I also find it interesting that this person is a member of the GSDCA...and that membership apparently doesn't have any mention of the Standard or anything else... the Breeders Code (on the website) doesn't say anything about breeding to the Standard...so, I guess if we can't expect members to breed to the Standard, we probably can't expect Hunte to behave in the best interests of the breed, or of dogs, either.
