No mediocre dogs win for many reasons,too many to list. The back is so
important for all functions. Try doing anything for any length of time with a
bad back. You may have a "flashy" sidegait but to me that makes the dog
mediocre. Without the total package you just have a dog that can run fast
around a ring. Big deal, not what I want from a GSD. If it is such an obvious
fault, it should be eliminated. If that soft or bad back was it's only fault
maybe the dog should win that day, but I don't think I would show a dog with a
soft or bad back,or put up one. I didn't see one dog with a bad back that had a
correct gait for long, they lifted, they moved from the elbow, some had
eggbeater movement in the rear, they bobbed up and down or swayed like they
were in a boat. I just think you bring in more than "just" a bad back. I like a
balanced smooth moving dog that can look good at any pace, call them mediocre
if you want, but if I am breeding, I want the total package, not just a
sidgegait. To me it is a fault of gait, which is a serious fault and should
not be overlooked. Any of the dogs I saw with a bad back, I did not see any
other outstanding attributes that over rode that back. I saw way to many dogs
there with a good back and the other qualities I would want to go with it. If I
am going to breed an outstanding dog with a fault, which all dogs have their
faults,it is not going to be his back or his front assembly.=0
ACan this be interpeted any other way?
Transmission: The typical smooth, flowing gait is maintained with great
strength and firmness of back. The whole effort of the hindquarter is
transmitted to the forequarter through the loin, back and withers. At full
trot, the back must remain firm and level without sway, roll, whip or roach

You breed a dog with a fault because of it's other outstanding
attributes.   .

Mediocore dogs win because the judge eliminates all dogs with obvious faults
then picks the winner from what is left.

And maybe this attitude is why we have mediocre dogs winning big???? Sidegait
gain and again is only a part of a great dog. I think I am sticking with the
tandard. Soft backs are great for cats, but it looks horrible on a GSD. Why
reed to it in the first place? The dogs I saw with "soft" backs did
ot have the correct gait. Why put something into your line that you will have
o correct later? That is like unlearning a bad hab
it, why start it in the first
lace?
agree with Joan and Cynthia
am
Some of the best moving dogs in lots of breeds have soft toplines and Ann is
ght, all big cats, when they are moving have soft backs - allows for
exibility... I know what the GSD standard says, but if you have a dog with a
rrect gait and a soft back, I would NEVER fault him as toplines are easy to
rrect...
s for one serious fault on an otherwise great dog - I think probably EVERYONE
this breed can think of a great influencial dog with a fault. It just depends
the fault...
nd you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater!! All it leads to is a
eed full of mediocrity and D*G knows there is enough mediocrity in dogs as it
...
