here are links to standards...and i add...the STANDARD needs changing...i suggest to add.. 1. Need to pass HEALTH STANDARDS to be able to win in any Beauty Show competitions. An approved criteria of say at least SOCIALABILITY test passed as well as HEALTH of hips eyes and non epileptic illnesses.
2. the need to REVIEW reading here the HISTORY of how the standard was over the years altered changed, the need now to RECOGNISE that
SHORT HAIRED BLACK Belgian Shepherd dogs EXIST and can be breed from LONG HAIRED PURE BREED GROENENDAELS - currently these dogs are NOT allowed to be recognised as either GROENENDAELS or MALINOIS (the latter being short haired) as the STANDARD does not currently allow it. so what happens if one or more appear in the litter of a breeder wishing to sell pups ? guess...extermination ? is this right ? http://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/item/125
