That is the judges thoughts through, have you heard what the other breed
spectators are
saying about them? I listen to comments about our GSD's and they are not
flattering at all. Most I posted were comments from people I heard
on the sidelines state. As I stated I do see some GSD's that
are good representatives of the breed. I am talking the AKC shows
not the Specialty ones.

Gee, Theresa, you must not go to the same shows I go to. Michigan has some
pretty outstanding dogs and many specialty and all breed judges have thought so
too. <G>

Well as I see it at most of the AKC Shows I attend do not see
very many that fit the AKC GSD Standard around here.

�
It clearly states
�
Temperament
The breed has a distinct personality marked by direct and fearless, but not
hostile, expression, self-confidence and a certain aloofness that does not lend
itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. The dog must be
approachable, quietly standing its ground and showing confidence and
willingness to meet overtures without itself making them.
�
"Many shy away from the judge"
�
The German Shepherd Dog is longer than tall, with the most desirable proportion
as 10 to 8�. The length is measured from the point of the prosternum or
breastbone to the rear edge of the pelvis, the ischial tuberosity. The
desirable long proportion is not derived from a long back, but from overall
length with relation to height, which is achieved by length of forequarter and
length of withers and hindquarter, viewed from the side.
�
"Most are long in the back"
�
Head
The head is noble, cleanly chiseled, strong without coarseness, but above all
not fine, and in proportion to the body. The head of the male is distinctly
masculine, and that of the bitch distinctly feminine.
�
�
�
The expression keen, intelligent and composed. Eyes of medium size, almond
shaped, set a little obliquely and not protruding. The color is as dark as
possible. Ears are moderately pointed, in proportion to the skull, open toward
the front, and carried erect when at attention, the ideal carriage being one in
which the center lines of the ears, viewed from the front, are parallel to each
other and perpendicular to the ground. A dog with cropped or hanging ears must
be disqualified.
�
"See way too many narrow long heads with close smaller�eyes."
�
The neck is strong and muscular, clean-cut and relatively long, proportionate
in size to the head
�
The shoulder blades are long and obliquely angled, laid on flat and not placed
forward.
�
The pasterns are strong and springy and angulated at approximately a 25-degree
angle from the vertical. Dewclaws on the forelegs may be removed, but are
normally left on. The feet are short, compact with toes well arched, pads thick
and firm, nails short and dark.
�
"See no mention of long weak pasterns which I see way too often around here and
in show photos. I will add though I do see some very nice GSD's at the
Nationals. However, most that show in the local shows are not what they should
be. "
�
The upper thigh bone parallels the shoulder blade while the lower thigh bone
parallels the upper arm. The metatarsus (the unit between the hock joint and
the foot) is short, strong and tightly articulated.
�
�
Rin Tin Tin does have different conformation but he was a using animal not just
for show.� A GSD should still be able to work as well as have good useable
conformation. The�GSD should be versatile as they were when Max von
Stephanitz first founded the breed.
�
Maybe the GSD's where you are fit the Standard, have not seen those.
