    AKC does not have this statement in its standard.

    The German Shepherd Dog should be evaluated as an all-around working dog, and exaggerations or faults should be penalized in proportion to how much they interfere with the dog's ability to work. There are other differences too.

    UKC philsophy is that of the total dog- Structure, temperment, function.

    I have shown in UKC and the GSD and White Shepherds tend to have better rear ends and AKC type dogs do not do as well. Like Rachel stated there is still room for improvement.

    so maybe the UKC person is looking for a judge that will help with rewarding dogs that are put together well? :wink2:
