Hi Scott...you may not like what I'm going to say, but I have to say it
anyway. Our illustrated standard is a good one. It's the very one we all cut
our
teeth on and remains true to what the design of the GSD was meant to be. The
fact that most of our dogs today do not look like the Illustrated Standard
means to me that we have gone off course in many ways.
Most noticable to me is the lack of prosternum in our dogs today....which
indicates that our shoulders are placed too far forward and the lay-on and
lay-back are incorrect. Instead of revising the Standard to fit an incorrect
generation of dogs, I think we need to go back to what was correct and allowed
full extension of the shoulder.
