To me, it does not matter how big/small the dog is(within reason, of course).
What does matter is the proportions of the dog and how well he/she moves.
Personally, I like a substantial male, and a female needs to have enough body
to support a good sized litter of puppies. So , no spindly, snipey dogs for
me. Give me a male that looks like a male, and a female that looks like a
female, and if they are proportioned correctly, they should be able to move as
well. I never could understand the "size" part of our standard. A good dog
is a good dog and a judge will put up the dog that measures up to his/her idea
of the ideal GSD. No one person sees it the same way, that is the nature of
the "art" of judging, to me.
