I don't think it is petty at all.  Animal Planet told the world they were 
drollers.  Now what will be important in the long run, our written standard 
or the publics perception shaped by programs like this, backed up by a huge 
group breeding incorrect type dogs?  BTW, does anyone have any idea how many 
working breeders there are out there breeding Pyrs.  I have never heard a 
figure and I suspect no one knows.  That would pose the next question.  
Should we not have an idea how large this group is?
