Well since it's so simple ANYONE ought to be able to judge. LOL. There's a lot
left up to subjectivity...
I have a health question. A colleague was telling me about a gsd that had some
behavioral (or neurological) disorder where he was so anxious he chewed on his
own tail. They were having to amputate the tail. The claim is that this
disorder is "common" in the gsd. Is that accurate?
