Hello, Philippe.

You're right, Pavel, but what I want to say was : what could be done if the owner/breeder, shown
as a specialist of the breed, become a judge in a country without sufficient background?????
Could you imagine the disaster for future CsV generations? Some concerned countries don't have a
real owner club, despite a breed club grouping East breeds, no association able to forward
informations 8-(((

In my family there lives first CSV in Russian federation. And I can
imagine some ways, when future of this breed will not be so good
in our country. By FCI rules judge with some licenses in one group
can get license for whole group, and we have lots of such judges, who
are specialists in different kinds of shepherds. You know, that
standard of CSV differs from any shepherd standard very much. Can you
imagine, how will they judge CSV? I meet tens of GSD and other
shepherds owners, and they usually says: "What a wonderful color! But
why he have such high hip and pasterns turned out? Is he ill?" And
situation with judgement can be the same (we didn't visit any dog
shows yet, but this situation is possible). Maybe, it's usual
practice for other countries too, but in Russia there is stupid
"tradition" to make new breeds for "local requirements" (results -
"black terrier" - based on Risenshnautzer , "Moscow guarding dog" -
based on Bernardine and Caucasian shepherd). In past, it was from
army and police kennels, but now there is lots of private kennels
with license, where can work any brainless people... And some people in
future can follow this way with CSV - breeding by shepherd standards
and without proper control of behavior and such things (like with
some "fighting dogs" - pitbull, some Maloss dogs...)
