In talking to some people (even judges) many really like that incorrect, fast, flashy movement. I have also heard many people critize the proper ground covering, elastic & easy moving gait as not being "exciting" enough. Again, IMO, when I get to see this correct movement as described in our standard, I get goosebumps!!

Kathy agrees with me !!!11 Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Head Pieces 2008 US National Oops sorry my PC sent the email before I asked it to...lol Gary, As usual your "soapbox" is right on the money. Lack of secondary sex characteristics is glaring. Males that look like bitches, bitches that resemble dogs . (maybe great for a brood bitch, but still you don't want them masculine) Lack of correct movement. Rumbling over the loin and croup, because the too steep croups with the faulty rears have to transmit all that "movement" somewhere. Yep, lot of movement there...all in the wrong places. Watch the Nationals tapes along that white wall and ask why is there so much movement along the back, loin and croup? It is not supposed to do that. Gary, people are ALREADY ASKING "Where's the Movement?" Some are plush and pretty and look great at ONE speed. FAST. The real movers were evident under Helen Gleason, because the ones that look good only going fast...fell apart. We were at a specialty over the summer and out here, it is not even can't move, but plushy pretty....the dogs we saw were ugly, poorly constructed, faulty in the rears, and couldn't move, with poor secondary sex characteristics. At one point we had to laugh , because it was almost funny. Now we (collectively speaking) have not only lost movement and correct structure and pigment, now they are ugly too? Unreal. The plushy pretty ones that go flying around the ring, are not really fooling anyone. Nor are the dyed ones that we saw, and many got the gate at the Nationals. They are only fooling themselves. THIS IS A MOVING BREED....we have lost that in many instances, pervasively in some areas and in some lines. We are now seeing quick steppers, strung up, or hauling butt around a ring, because with the short croups , long hocks and poor backs they come apart when gaited in a controlled manner. We are seeing the "flavor of the day" breedings give the fancy a lot of nothing. We are seeing dogs linebred on animals that several years ago NONE of us would have owned. Dogs that couldn't move, that were faulty in conformation, pigment and ratios. It is amazing that people have forgotten that. Or choose not to remember where many of these faults have come from...conveniently. At this point a large majority of our breed is being out -gaited by Pointers, Poodles and Terriers. Congratulations...what a proud day. Ick. http://www.victorygermanshepherds.com Updated: Oct 20, 2008 ~ HOME OF:: CH. Elvaston's Nations Cup TC, 26 BOBs CH. Victory's Leviathan CH.

Not about the quality. Why is the Von Stephanitz trophy NOT in the pictures with the Grand Victor and Grand Victrix? It wasn't there last year either. Since the trophies are now too fragile for the owners to take home for the year (and way too valuable), the least the Parent Club could do is make sure the trophy gets in the picture! I have no idea whose responsibility this should be, but someone should be in charge of making sure that it gets done at EVERY national.

Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2008 12:04:16 -0500 I agree with you on this, Jeff...there's a dog out now who started winning well while quite immature. When I first saw him I was disappointed....there just wasn't enough of him and he was bitchy, to my eyes. He's now settled into looking good and appears to have filled out, not to mention that his head has come along. Nowadays, I think maybe he's masculine enough but I could be wrong........most of us are, some of the time. . Anyway, judges are supposed to judge on the day...not on what they think might happen later...
