THE "a" STAMP ISSUE.....
I WAS RIGHT......SO THERE !!
Copyright © June 2000 Bobbie Impellizzeri

I know I'm slow - but I am just now getting around to reading the March issue of the SV Zeitung, wherein is published the official SV Hip Klassifications in direct referrence to the official FCI Klassifications (as in the Comparison Chart below).

For all you nay-sayers, scoffers, beraters, revilers and chest-beaters who ranted and raved that I DARED to publish such LIES and MIS-information in my 1989 article, "What You Don't Know About The "a" Stamp Can Hurt You," and in my reworked 1998 article, "What You STILL Don't Know About The "a" Stamp Can Hurt You,"  let me just say,

Nyah, nyah, nyah......... I TOLD YOU SO !!!

I will be writing a new article on this subject as soon as I get time to thoroughly read the entire SV article (and possibly translating it as well), but essentially - I've already said the important stuff.  I'm eliminating the United Kingdom comparison from the chart, but as of 2 months ago, the OFA and SV Classifications remain the same.
