     types on breeders, judges, dog show committees, etc., as the only recognized and unvarying 

     standard by which the German Shepherd Dog is to be judged, and which may in the future be 

     uniformly accepted as the sole standard of excellence in breeding and awarding prizes of merit;

3) To do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed by offering prizes,  

     supporting certain shows, encouraging the development of working qualities and taking any 

     other steps that may seem advisable;

4) To promote its most conspicuous characteristics as Police Dog, War Dog, Red Cross Dog, and 

     Herding Dog, and;

5) To encourage therefore all trial and demonstrations in which those qualities may be shown, so 

     as to interest the public generally, but especially the police and other municipal organizations in

     our ideals.
