To me it is correct structure and dogs who are conditioned and trained that
move well and they do need a large enough ring to show the judge what they
have.JMHO

As I pointed out before, a CORRECTLY made, correctly conditioned GSD should
be able to handle a smallish ring - maybe not a postage stamp ring, but an
average sized ring. Isn't this breed supposed to be strong and athletic?
Which means they should be able to function and move CORRECTLY in all
situations.
I have to laugh that everyone always talks about how a big sidegait is what
wins at specialties... No, actually, based on many of the photos I see in
the Review or see at shows, a dog with lots of flashing legs does well at
specialties. Those are the dogs who NEED the big rings to get their legs
under them and sort of going the right direction. Yes, dogs with big CORRECT
gaits do win, but flashing legs does not equal big gait.
And a dog with a faulty down and back can have a big sidegait or lots of
action - it's those flexible dogs that have the biggest gaits. Very rarely
will you find a dog with a totally correct down and back with a big, long
gait. Dogs are typically good on one end or the other and then have the
sidegait to go with it. To me it is this flexibility that allows for the big
gait...
