Question
How come the german sheperds rear end is always pushed down?


Answer
Hi Megan
That is Amercian lines to show them too much angulation that cripples this wonderful breed
Look on my site u do not see this some angulation to show the Pure West German Lines at Seiger shows, that is all German Shepherds, not a mix of dogs like Westminster shows, etc.
The Americans are just crippling this wonderful breed of dog that has the largest brain space of any breed on earth.  Just to show and win and they live terrible lives in crates, being groomed, combed and bathed and Shepherds do not need a bath, non of mine ever had a bath and YOU go to my site, check males, females, litters, all over and non has ever been shampooed and bathed only hosed down on very hot days under the bellys and legs.  I use foot deep wade pools filled for them as they run in a pack all day and kenneled at night for safety reasons and two in whelp rooms now bred for pups due soon to mid april.
They are a non maintenance dog to own and the pure West German Lines I breed are highly intelligent, so trainalbe and easy to bond and love and loyal it is scarey at times how they learn English and what your talking about or getting ready to go some place.

I feel this breed needs much improvements and I cannot do it alone with Amercian breeders just breeding for money, this is a love hobby for this old lady that adores my dogs and this breed of dog, I also own an English Bulldog that is dumb but loving and ten years and life span is 8 yrs.  She has been almost vet free except to spay her and for dermitis for her fat lap over her nose twice, not bad for ten years.

Kind Regards
Patt
