Older breed standards

I got my first abby in 1968. She was the most terrific animal and I liked the way she looked -- squarish face, big eyes and ears, etc. However, I am generally horrified by contemporary breed standards which exaggerate the features of the older abby breed. Is there anyone out there who breeds to the old standard -- not exaggerated ear size, not exceptionally long and lean, but something that looks like the old 1950s and 1960s abby?
