REVISE STANDARD OF POINTS.
Rules for judging German Shep.
herd Dogs Retranslated.

The standard OF points OF tho German

been retranslated and revised up to date
by Miss Anne Tracy of Highland Falls,

Park. y. J. In official language II IL
stated that this announcement should not
In any way convey to the minds of the
breeders of the German Shepherd dog that
any real change has been made from the
standard used by the mother club, the
Dcutscher Schaferhund Vere!n.
II has, however. been put in English
that may be understood by all and the
rev.sions accepted BY the mother club In
the past few years have been added. 1t
Is impressed on the members OF The club
that breeders and BUYERS should realize
the importance OF clnsing to the utility
type. They must be careful 10 preserve
the great beauty that lies ir the noble
head-the strong neck. the strong pas
terms and the good feet. II they try to
make the animal Of purely show type
they may In an endeavor TO breed for
beautiful head, long and narrow, get
that head too fine. and thus breed out the
Intelligence and strength that mean so
much. The club advises It's members
not TO do as collie breeders have been
afraid OF doing and breed out the brain
capacities OF their dogs.
