Who else thinks it's stupid that Liver German Shepherds are considered an American Kennel Club fault when they're beautiful?

Answer #1

Personally, I think it’s stupid for anyone to get a dog - any dog - simply for it’s certification … dogs are companions, not trophies.

Answer #2

I’m not trying out for trophies i just hate that they say that the liver ones are a fault and not beautiful.

Answer #3

Sorry - my comment wasn’t directed to you, specifically … it was a general comment.

Answer #4

For show purposes every breed has standards. They in no way indicate how good or attractive a dog is but are simply what are or are not desirable features for competition in dog shows. I owned a very handsome papillon that could never win a dog show because he had too many freckles and asymmetrical markings. That never kept him from being the best papillon in the world to me.

Answer #5

It’s ok Colleen.
