Changing breed standards over time

Hey Krystal, DJTs are a bit big for ground work to begin with, but I think they make up for it in drive and get the job done. I only worry about the dogs getting too big to be versatile, but the proof is in the pudding. If it the dog works then it works, right? I think some of those club guys are playing "whose schwantz ist grosser" vicariously through their dogs anyway. Their own standard calls for a terrier that is neither shy nor overly aggressive. I think they forget that last part. My Hilde is too leggy by their standards but she suits me just fine. The little female I picked up from you... no worries about her being shy.
