I hate to sound ignorant, but sometimes the only way we learn is to fess up and
admit our short comings. I've never heard the term "slab sided" GSDs before -
what does it mean? Does anyone have any pictures of a "slab-sided" GSD?
Thanks for any information you all can provide to educate me!!!

Hi Everyone,
How severely are slab-sided(SS) dogs penalized in the confirmation
ring? Do SS dogs have a greater risk of bloat/torsion or developing
other health problems? (I know that SS horses may suffer stamina
problems since their lungs can't fully expand.) Should a SS dog be
bred? If so, do you breed to a dog with normal, well-sprung ribs or
to a dog with ribs that are more than ideally sprung, not
barrel-chested, but leaning in that direction? (I'm sure it's much
more
complicated than that.)
I'm a newbie and any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in
advance for answering my questions.
