| Nice choices, Blitzen. Nothing over extreme in those two dogs. Now if only people would orient to this style of gsd, maybe things will come to full circle in another forty or fifty years. :) |

| Sorry but I could care less about what the standard says I dont like these dogs lower back and even If these dogs are standing normal they have the arched back and cribled hindlegs |

| Thanks, Joanro. I like a GSD that looks like he is actually agile and sound enough to tend a flock and bring down the bad guy. I think if it were only about conformation, we could be back to the future in 3, 4 generations. Factor in performance and that adds a lot more years to the timeframe. Forty years? I suspect you are right. For an interesting comparative of how the SL's have changed physically, click on Oli's list of past Va's. |

| OK. So far so good. People getting allong and all is nice and fuzzy sweet. (I stand corrected lol "stuff" is starting to fly as I was making this. Perfect time for this test.) I see some prodding statements but no one is starting a fire lol. (yes they are) So here's a test. For those who like my favorites both working and show, shhhhh for this test. You most likely will recognize the dogs. The premise of the test is to comment on the following dogs, tell me what you like, what you dont, based strictly on the photos. Go into detail about hating the sloping back. Comment on how much you love the ones that have what you think is correct. After we stir up the pot I will post some interesting information about these dogs. Dont try and view properties and cheat, I uploaded them ;) Here we go.  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 .jpg) 11  12  13  |

| Aw geez, are we going to be making any of these dogs' owners feel badly if all remarks aren't positive? |
by live4schutzhund on 01 April 2012 - 15:30 |
I doubt they look at this forum. I cant tell you why they wont care without ruining the test. Stop cheating. All of the pictures are from public database. Nothing was taken from a private web site. |

| Ok, Live4, nice project. But I'd like to make a suggestion. Since there are thirteen pics and one has to scroll up or down to compare,plus there is no way to reference them, how about putting them in pairs: list them something like one A, one B and so on? that would make a lot easier to know which dog every one is commenting on with out going through as much work as you have :) Thanks. |

| I can tell you this much 10 looks awesome. smooth topline, beautiful head, looks very athletic. Simply just one stunning dog. |
Skylagsd by Skylagsd on 01 April 2012 - 16:09 |
| I can say the same for number 11. |
by joanro on 01 April 2012 - 16:13 |
| Wow! Didn't see the numbers! Definitely no. Seven is my pick. |

Well i do like looking at these threads but just have to say that some are stunning but have to agree that SOME of the toplines are just far to much but thats just MHO, just like to say that Vanesko Vom Salztalblick has a lovely outline so natural and workman like yet still glamourous. Yes he is not perfect, a little steep in the upper arm i feel but otherwise a lovely German Shepherd. |

http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/german_shepherd_dog/forum.read?mnr=175156&pagen=8 myret - if you look on this page of your topic, you will find a dog standing normally and then stacked...... in the normal stance you will see she has a flat back and is not overly angulated, but when stacked her back is rounded and she looks overly angulated. if others would show photos of their dogs both stacked and then standing normally you will start to understand the most of what you call roached is actually the postion in which the dogs are stacked.... |

| Mine is #5. Not hard to guess from my original list. Lets keep em up. Too early still to end the test. |

| Everyone- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take the time to go back and name the dogs in all of your posts...easpecially on the first page!!!! It's hard for us newbies to know who they are and some are so stunning that I would like to find out more information about them but don't know their names!!!! Thank you!!! For example..who is the black sable on page one with the photgrapher being S. Neuhold (this is my favorite dog shown)? What about the black sable on page 2 listed as number 2 and also number 7! Forget the name game and just list the studs..hehehehe  Or..PM me please on these 3 dogs!!! Thank you!! Sara |

| I bet most of these dogs are not even in this country. So unfair..make me drool like that for no reason!! Can you breed via AI and still end up with an American bred SV registerable puppy? That might give me a shimmer of hope....hahaha Sara |

| 1 is stretched, but well muscled 2 has a nicer shoulder, but upper arm is a bit steep 3 has good shoulder and longer croup 6 has a good head 11 has steep croup 12 looks very powerful, overall decent conformation 13 is my favorite, though his upper arm is a bit short. no dog is perfect, all of the examples are well above average..... i would be proud to own any of these dogs...... |
