  In the article it states: Wayne Cavanaugh, President of the UKC is who is
being quoted.

   "Fortunately, Wayne has rewritten the GSD standard and is retraining
judges. The standard for the GSD is “straight back with a slope.” But in
the world of ever increasing exaggeration, that slope has turned into an
arch that is creating spine and hip problems in these beautiful dogs. What
the UKC is doing is re-emphasizing the standard and the need for a
“straight back.” They are instructing the judges that, “If these dogs are
exaggerated to this degree, you can excuse them from the ring.” The UKC
also requires judges to attend seminars where footage is shown of the
suffering these dogs endure. The judges leave nauseated and with a better
understanding of how these small, incremental exaggerations can destroy a
dog’s health and quality of life."
