Remember this blue dogs? Guess his dilute nose color did not show up. CH (US) Hoobin's Gray Boy http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/dog.html?id=526073-hoobins-gray-boy Yes, blues, livers and Pandas or any other color showing up like brindle should be DQ and white dogs should remain there. Don't want to look like "dummies" as stated below make this happen. Personally I have never had one person of another breed question our GSD Breed Standard.

Or, at least, I hope not. The Standard still has them as serious faults. It is to get rid of the contradiction. So, again, if it doesn't pass, does that mean we should make blues/livers a DQ? We need to decide, and correct our Standard. Or, we can leave it as is, and look like dummies to all the other breeds (who revise their standards regularly, for the most part).I tell judges, BTW, that, in the unlikely event they have a dilute, they should DQ them based on nose color. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
