CBK, I can debate both sides of that statement, just so you know I do agree with your point.  I ma not for show dog people dictatiing the breeds standards of a working dog. I also have a breed that has alot of debate about breed standards and find it absolutely ridiculous at times to try and argue with some.
For example the breed is supposed to be a versatile breed. By German standards it is a versatile breed, but to use the dogs on certain types of game here in the US the breed has changed slightly. The Germans are trying to change the breed stadard as well or actually have, because I researched different leading sires and those foundation dogs of the breed do not fit current standards or types either and at that point I give up trying to work with any type of breed club. When you are talking about a rare breed that has little gene pool that was developed from other breeds every now and then you will have an odd ball pop up, but most likely will not ever reproduce those same traits, do you think it should be culled even if the most important goal of the breed is to hunt? and say that odd ball is nearly as good as it gets, but its conformation is out of standards?
