What a depressing page.
Nobody's made one for Dobermanns but here's a small example of "change"
1940s [the great Dictator Von Glenhugel]
And a modern Dobe "Americanized" champion
And my dog's GG-grandfather, the immortal "game changer"/korang for life, Hertog Alpha Le Dobry [European]
and then there's The Boy
Alpha came from the same tight bloodlines as Dictator and it shows.
This diagram comes from the breeder/judge education page of the DPCA:
Judging by the second dog [no pun intended] nobody ever looks at that diagram.
LOL, I don’t know much about Dobes, but your diagram is so much as we sometimes see accompanying GS standards. I don’t know what you think of Dobe standards today.
Honestly, I don’t think there is much wrong with the “AKC” GS standard (or pictures), as most AKC-haters do.
I think it’s like the Constitution - it’s still officially there, and some even pay lip-service to it, but they don’t actually abide by it at all.
That is the problem. As long as there is a power clique that decides what it likes, they control what wins, etc. Doesn’t matter what the document says.
