I RECALL VIVDLY WHEN THAT 'FAD' CAME INTO BEING... SKINNY, RIBBY DOGS ...
Some of The Handler s and owners excused it saying it was so they move
faster... Which was all Baloney!!! They were narrowly built and lacked bone
and
substance and often had narrow long heads.. Looking back now, I feel they were
making excuses for 'poor keepers' shepherds who were probably PAA/EPI
affected, and the breeders/handlers , claimed they were in excellent 'racing
condition'... If you look today they are still all about us...Looking down on
top of
them they are narrow across the shoulders and pelvis... Now they fluff-dry
their coats to give a more correct look of substance.. I love to see these kind
out in the rain , soaking wet...The truth is then very apparent..
The GS is supposed to be a dog of strong bone, body , muscle and
substance...Not looking like a Saluki or Greyhound... Which is very much in
evidence
today...They often haven't any width of forechest and their two front legs
appear to be coming out of the same hole.. I always called them the 'Angelfish
Shepherds"... They appear, to the uneducated eye to be deep in body, viewed
from
the side, because they have deep ribbing..But looking down on them , you can
often span their withers and pelvis with little more than an open hand...and a
Woman's hand at that...JMO Barb Williams
