I may add...

Every show I go to, EVERY single exhibitor I talk to is disgusted by the GSD. 
EVERY single one of them regardless of what breed they have. It's hard for me 
to listen too but I have a hard time defending the showring dog.  It's not 
normal for dogs to walk like that. I don't remember the GSD I loved as a kid 
walking like that. It's disgusting. Why do their legs hit the ground? They look 
so wobbly and weird.

I hear at our obedience class or at a nosework demonstration or while out for a 
walk.

Why is it that EVERY dog person on the planet (except the specialty GSD 
breeder) is so sad that the breed has been ruined?  Why can't fellow GSD 
breeders see it?  In fact, at my last UKC show (I started there to get us ready 
for AKC) the judge even commented to me on having a "normal" GSD and it was 
"nice to see". :-(

It really breaks my heart. 

Plus, I see GSDs at shows shaking, tail tucked, looking around frantically. 
It's just not proper character.

Now, I don't mean to come on here and have my first posts be so negative. I am 
trying to learn. So, please help me understand .....

Does anyone know when the hind end thing started? I know it wasn't always like 
this? Does it give a bigger gait or something?  Does anyone wish they could go 
back to breeding normal dogs but maybe they think they won't win in ring 
anymore?

Does anyone else feel our show ring atmosphere is intimidating to a new show 
ring exhibitor?  Don't some of you wish people could show their own dogs 
without the antics?

I apologize again.
