Recently, I opened a discussion on the Orloff Club Forum about either creating or promoting utility strains of the Russian Orloff.
To summarize what I said, I really feel that, in order to truly be preserved, the Orloff should not be bred too strictly according to outward appearance, but instead be bred to a standardized outward appearance AND a standardized cold hardiness, disease resistance, and utility (i.e. meat and eggs) value.
