Based on the pictures, yeah, REALLY.
If the kennel clubs don't have to follow the standard and can make freaks then why would anyone have to adhere to it? The governance led the way to the insanity.
The breed is so fragmented and has pretty much undergone every horrible thing Max predicted and cautioned against. No matter which camp you choose from, there will be a larger majority out there telling you you made the wrong choice and that they wish a pox on your breeder for not doing it their more correct way.
What a load. Who cares? Get what you want, and be happy with it. As for all the belly aching about the good of the breed and who holds the holy grail of the true gsd,
nobody cares to hear it. The best gsd is the one you love. The rest is of little matter. Whether you rescued, have a mix, found a stray or had to buy the boat that brought it here, did the training, paid for the titles before hand, or the only work you put into it is vacuuming hair off the couch, it really doesn't matter.
Just-
Enjoy This Day, with your dog!
Go outside and play!
