English standard and standard American

For it must of report must cite the fact that, allombra of the English standard of it exists an other, that American.

The cultori of the standard will pardon me American who, in some drawn differs from that English, while in others he stretches to clear of the anatomical relationships and to render them devout comprehensible, but personally task that is gi difficult to select when a single standard exists figures two.

I do not have nothing against the made in U.S.A. but, famous that the Americans at this point too much often in field cinofilo stretch to modify standard of race in way much subjective one, for devout reasons or little condivisibili, but, tried to think if every nation, came taken from the mania to personalize the race second the own convincements, we would have many various standards on the same race and in the best one of the cases great confusion would be only contributed to create one.
