The Breed Standard
The Breed Standard of any Breed is controlled, updated and maintained by the parent organisation of the breed. In the case of the German Shepherd Dog, the breed standard is controlled by Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde (SV) in Germany.
The Breed Standard Serves as a 'blueprint' of the ideal German Shepherd Dog. It provides an overwiew of the signature characteristics as desired, and lays out undesired faults. The Breed Standard should be carefully considered by Breeders and Judges alike.
