[Jacob-list] etc

[Royal D. Unzicker]

Hi Fellow Breeders,
Glad to hear how others of you can find more white or black to conform 
to the 15-85% range.  It's amazing how much white I can find if I really 
like a very dark Jacob!  :-)  For me personally, the overall 
value/Jacob traits of a particular animal are more important than a 
little too much/too little color. If one of mine doesn't get passed I 
tell myself that, as a buyer, I'd be glad someone is keeping an eye on 
breed standards. That keeps my blood pressure lower!.  
George, I had heard of the grid idea but never tried it.  I'm going to 
take a stab at it.  I will first use my usual eyeball method and then do 
the grid and see how close they are. Do you take into consideration the 
belly?  That always gets alot of white.
I am really enjoying the pictures.  I finally convinced myself to get 
either a digital camera or a scanner so I can do the same.  I am 
wondering what method/brands etc people have found to give a decent 
quality picture and provide versatility.
Thanks,
Royal
