Very well put as the GSD is versatile and should never be thought of
just doing one thing. Conformation plays a very important part
in what a GSD is capable. The GSD is the most special dog
that was ever created and there is no other dog like them.

I got my first GSD in 1970. Wanted a dog like Rin
Tin Tin. I
was told what a poor specimen he was. Going back years

every original Rin tin tin movie I could lay my hands on
(think I have 6 or 7
now) I studied what he could do and how his conformation
related. He was a
pretty incredible dog even with the movie shtick that you
can see through.
I would suggest rather than bad mouthing his
conformation, people should
look at what in his conformation made him capable of doing
those feats.
They still have jumping contests , I saw one on Youtube
somewhere.

You are right Evan. That
was definitely 1930s or so film. In fact the dog even
resembled Rin Tin Tin III.
But I do not know with any certainty that it was him. From
my personal
experience with the Rin Tin Tin Line Dogs I know Rin
Tin Tin VIII could
jump well himself. At the ranch on my way to the kennel I
once saw him as he was
coming over a 12’ fence that surrounded the
pens. Oil people were doing
seismic testing and he didn’t like it – so out
he came.
