Dawn You have jumped to an incorrect conclusion. All breeds of dogs have a part of the fancy that prefers to show on one ring instead of the other. There are more all breed shows, yet to appreciate the movement of a GSD I firmly believe you need to see them in a large specialty ring. HOWEVER this doesn't mean that you must breed 2 different kind of dogs. What it SHOULD happen is that the dog is correct enough for both rings.
