I want to know what kind of rating this dog would have if she was judged under the SV. She is a West German and whte shepherd cross. Please give an explation why you would rate her as such.

It would depend a lot on how she moves. She is moderately angulated and balanced front and rear--but does she move balanced, does she use her front reach well, does she use her angulation well?
Based on the picture, G, but if she was a smooth mover and moved cleanly and strongly, SG? A single picture doesn't really give enough information to rate a dog--which is why judges judge dogs in person. :)

In 1916 would have been a very top rated GSD. Obviously a throwback to the base genetics that the breed was developed from. This is what you can get from uncontrolled breeding, throw back type, regression back to the base mean. Today in 2008, this bitch would never even place in the SV/FCI system. Wither and croup okay, but almost no angulation at either end and too rangey, lack of bone and substance. But so what, if the dog is a balanced mover, has clean joints, good temperament, then could be a great 24/7 as an in home pet. In general she is pleasing to look at besides, and overall most GSDs can never koerklass at the KK1 level anyway. Unless one needs a top show winner or a prime breeding bitch, this bitch should be great for a pet. Let's face it, only up to 5% of the GSDs of the west German showlines are ever top rated specimens and even a lessor percentage in the W. German working lines.
