I maybe wrong here so please correct me if I am - but when someone says slab
sided to me it conjures up a flat sided dog - like a door is also called a
slab - No spring of rib - some dogs have this come on later as they fully
mature than others do - so in some cases a young dog may not possess the
spring of rib but at some point when the dog is FINALLY mature it needs to
be there - this is true for many breeds not just the GSD -

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.
