"New" NI breed standard, anyone care to discuss, co my head is spinning!!

OOPS! Sorry, you must of disagreed with JK on something then! Still ruling all?

Well, no, not really. Just decided it was mostly a bit too... "ingratiating"? Is that the word? Maybe "introspective"? Not sure - but if they were Americans, they would probably be living in the Everglades I think.

I would hope any future pups would not conform to standard, or there will be some pretty deformed dogs walking about out there under the banner of NI...

I honestly wouldnt worrie about the standard and stepping up to the new one, I would do what everyone else is doing, laughing at it.

Yet they state the ribs must be long!! They dont say ribbed well back so they cant mean that, but to have "long" ribs would obviously mean a deeper chest and brisket? This would of course then mean the chest dropping well below the elbow! Whoever wrote this doesnt have any basic conformation knowledge!!! Contradictions galore!

thats me Im on the floor now,

just because Im up for a good laugh, did they mention the shoulder placement that would fit this body.... it just gets better by the min,.

Shona?? get off the floor girl, you read it correctly!!!!

BAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

GO ON DAWN draw a scribble of said dog, im rubbish at drawing or I would do it, that said being crappy at drawing would make no odds on a standard like that...

can you cut and copy the whole standard?

just gona find a tenna lady before I read it though

I think you need a nappy!!

I take that quite personally actually if you had a issue maybe you should have mentioned something before leaving in a huff

that made my head hurt, there are so many contradictions in there,

I tried to make this dog up in my head, but short of a train crash, I couldnt picture it.

Ignore the spelling mistakes i keep having to go back an find them

Not a problem Jem.

Sorry you feel that way Jem, the point I was making was simply that it appears to me that with the NIS you are either "in" or "out". If out, you are pretty much ignored, if "in" then the opposite. I disliked the "us and them" attitude. I never left in a huff at all, just decided that to stay would more likely than not end in tears one way or another and that was the only way to make sure it never happened.

jem hun is that your web site?

It sure is, its not finished yet so be kind

I will go and have another looky peeky round in a mo

I just have to say.... how do you feel about the standard being on your site? Do you think you may need to explain or defend it to people visiting your site?

Im sorry you were made to feel that way hun I'll still require updated pic's of shila though

I dont mind it being on my site because I dont understand it, I know that makes me look incredibly dumb and im sorry for that but terminology's throw me unless i can see a pic with various bits pointed out to me then i can understand better.

Yours or mine?

Yours
I can see mine anytime i want lol x
