I was using the past as an example, the standards make no difference because there will always be fads, when there is a fad you suddenly get a million dogs from one line, and suddenly the look is not the same as it was a generation or 2 before. breeds are constantly changing in look despite the stardards.

they don't change despite the standard...the vary in lines and breeder's preferences, but in the end, they all need to stick to the breed standard.
