I agree partially with that premise: I believe that The Biggest Danger to the 
future of Pyrs comes from the whims of some AKC Show JUDGES, and Any Show 
Breeder who decides to go along with those whims and breeds specifically for 
their preferences as opposed to breeding strictly for the standard. One 
example of that has been discussed recently, and that is COATS that show 
better but are not standard coats. What are your feelings on that?
