I hear so many people on here critisizing others and quoting the "breed standard". Alot has come from one answerer, GetEmGang, who does nothing more than insult others and seems to offer no intelegent advice. Who determined these standards? Unless someone is showing a dog professionally, do most average people care if their purebreed dog matches the breedstandard? As far as appearance goes, it is a personal opinion. By "breed standards" my male Siberian Husky has the markings, coat, and eye color considered as one of the "standards", but that doesn't mean that he is a better dog, than say my sons mutt. Dogs should be chosen because the person loves them, thinks they are beautiful regardless of some breeds standard made up, and because they have a great personality. Why is such a big deal made over this with some people?
