"An excellent article by a leading German SV Judge and Kormeister on German Shepherd Dog (GSD) Hind angulation and unsoundness."Hurrah! They've realised the error of their ways!
I clicked on the link. There, Leonhard Schweikert has written that the breed sufferes from "over typification, that is, over-angulation in the region of the hindquarter."
Yes, yes!
He went on: "Anyone who still do not wish to face this truth, is sinning, transgressing, against the working dog characteristics of our breed!"
Finally!
He urged: "It is high time, that we faced this criticism and do not ignore it any further, or even dismiss it as the idle talk of some who criticise the German Shepherd with ill intent.
Bravo!
He even nicks a graphic of a horse that's done the rounds on the internet showing what happens if you give a horse a modern GSD show-line shape.
Absolutely!
He then pulls out some recent GSD rear ends and illustrates the problem.
Oh, isn't this great?
And finally, Leonhard Schweikert gives us a picture of the dog that he thinks has the perfect angulation.
Tah-daaah!
You can read the whole depressing thing here.
