The GSD Standard has held thru the decades because it is RIGHT for our breed. The proposed changes are not only NOT needed, but if implemented, would cause degradation of the Breed - GSDs of all colors, coats, nose colors, etc. There was a reason Capt Max von Stephanitz carefully crafted our Breed, and we need to uphold those high standards, not open them to any GSD that now would be considered at fault or disqualified. We simply cannot allow changes to a Standard that isn't broken. I'm the proud owner of a well-bred AKC GSD that is my Psychiatric and Mobility Service Dog. She is extremely intelligent and trainable - and that's because her co-breeders only breed to the Standard - resulting in my having a super Service Dog. Please DO NOT CHANGE our current Standard. Why in heavens name would anyone want to change a Standard that produces excellent, quality dogs??
