What is this?
This:
http://www.ukcdogs.com/WebSite.nsf/8...ElemFormat=gif is the current graphic used by the UKC to illustrate an ideal CsV. It accompanies the standards. Even back in 2007 when I first started reading about CsV and the standards, I thought that the picture made the dog look very drab, and indeed, plain and even ugly. In fact I don't think it looks much like a CsV at all, much less an 'ideal' one. What does everyone else think? Is it a good representative picture? |

It looks cartoonish to me.

 Totally wrong position and lenght of tail, the dog in picture has too little hair, untypical head and - hard to be exact with drawing, but his chest is... hm... too round, it should get more narrow when going down. Also the coloration is not tipical for a wolfdog... I also don't like his shoulder - guess it is "too straight", isn't it?

To me it seems a drawing of an early GSD. Margo put some similar ones in this thread (2nd post):http://www.wolfdog.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14750

I'm looking at a bunch of their picture and none of them look really good. I noticed the Belgian shepherd doesn't have one - maybe the UBSDA had them remove it (or that there are 4 varieties of the BSD?)?
I think the issue is that these are like sketches, which never look like a good representation. Does anyone have a sketch of a CSV that looks good? When the club is finalized with UKC - maybe this is something (well, one of the many things) we can work on.

LOL! Agreed! I always wondered if the judges were thinking of this image when they judged my dogs.
