The standards are updated every 5 years, and though they are written by the breed clubs, they are the property of the ARBA, so the only way to get an accurate version of the current standard is to read it in the latest edition of the ARBA's Standards of Perfection. Even the breed club usually doesn't print a word-for-word description of their own breed. But as hard as the Standards Committees try to make the wording uniform and easily understood, there is still no substitute for talking to someone who really knows the breed and can show you what good really looks like.
