I love my GSD she is the most perfect dog ever and she is half american bloodline and half German and she has no slanted back or anything. When I look at the older GSD I'm like."Hey, thats my dog."and i got her from Olympia Kennels in Chester NH. If you want to get a GSD get one there because they don't have have slanted backs like these. He's also a great trainer.HEHE..But GSD's like these are wrong they are made for work not this , but otherwise are a great breed. see ya bye... |

I have a huge geman line german shepherd (69cm to the shoulders, he's very stocky, but at the same time elegant), he's beauriful (he's black and brown but he looks like a wolf), brave, super obedient and amazingly loyal. He's the best dog I've ever had and I think it will be the best dog I will ever have. He's my guardian and my best friend, he'd take a bullet for me. |

@OdinsCloud Because European show lines are SO much better. /sarcasm
What with their same 90 degree angulation less the length in stifle that the American show lines have and their hideous roached backs and Rottweiler-like heads. |

@KX4LifeMX Yep, and as usual the stupid Americans have done the most to pervert the breed with that ridiculous (should be outlawed) slope to the hind. Hey, they allow and often have their cats de-clawed too. If you want to find a German Shepard dog in it's original incarnation look to Europe! |

@16shipton Dear Sir, last time I checked, just because my opinion does not repeat (whatever that means), does not mean I am wrong. Maybe another hypothesis that you might explore is that in life there are leaders, and there are followers and usually more of the latter. |

@ljp7c4 This is a well thought out comment. I agree in concept, when it comes to health, but it could be argued that large breeds have significantly more hip problems, therefore only small dogs should breed. If you own a dog, not a wolf, then you have contributed what you suggest is the problem. (breeding a dog to look a certain way). |

@65champagne1 I think there is definitely a wrong way to breed a dog. Breeding a dog to look a certain way that interferes with the health of the dog should be considered "wrong" imo. It is cruelty. |

it should be illegal to purposely breed dogs to have health problems just to make them look a specific way. When did this "style" become popular anyway? so weird and sick! |

@SADIETXCLAUS I should have said look at the GSDs from the 40s and 50s. |

@chri11ejonsson I agree! The American speciality show dogs appearance is the result of what the judges have liked over the years. The breeders simply want their dogs to attain "Champion" rating and follow the judges opinion of what is best. The same thing happens in Germany. Breeders want to have puppies that will look like the Sieger. The result of breeding for a shorter back in Germany resulted in the "roach" back. Neither is correct! Dogs of the 50s and 60s meet the standard! |

What I find interesting, are those who say breeders are destroying something that nature created. Nature did not create the GSD, breeders did, and not that long ago. (1899) Without breeders, there would be no GSD, no Golden Retriever, and no boxers to begin with. People want a dog that can bring them a duck, pull a cart, protect them, sit on a lap, kill rats or whatever task is at hand, all are based on the wolf, and there is no right or wrong, only opinions. |

I agree my American GSD is beautiful and hips/elbows are OFA certified as Excellent and she has a slight rear angulation. She has an amazing trot to watch because her movement is fluid and looks effortless. Watching her videos in slow motion, you can see she gets airborne at some point in a gait cycle. The best thing I like about her is her personality and good temperament. She does not have to enter shows, breed, or work--but to just be my friend to love and live with. |

Stacking the dogs like that just doesn't look natural at all! And it DOES not look good. At all! Wake up breeders! A GSD looks good when its WORKING! |
