Hmmm...   Isn't it the other way around?

Conformation judging, by the nature of the beast, is a fairly subjective 
exercise.  While a portion of our Standard is objective, (i.e. size, color, ear 
carriage, etc.), a goodly portion of the Standard's definition of a correct GSD 
is subjective and, therefore, open to interpretation.

Have many reasons why I feel entries are down with GSD's but most are not  
what people want to hear. So carry on.............

Another  reason performance entries are up is that if the handler is 
prepared and the  dog well trained, the team 
qualifies/passes/certifies/whatever.  
If  points are deducted or failure occurs, usually you know why, and if you 
do  not, the judge hands you a paper explaining it, so you know how to 
improve the  performance.  Even though there is only one High in Trial, etc., 
many  people get qualifying legs on their titles which is a positive  
reinforcement.  Conformation--not so much.
