2. FIT BREED STANDARD:  Check this box either that it fits breed standard or does not fit standard of the breed to be registered.  Height standard will be based on parents height if registering a kid.  If the parents both meet height standard, the kid will be accepted as meeting height.  If either parent is too tall or too short, the kid will be considered to not meet height standards.  The animals must meet breed standard of color and ear type.  Any question and they do not fit standard.
