Why do many of the Czech gsds that are shown on websites like Jinopo and Anrebri seem to have such long back legs? Is this a genetic trait of Czech dogs? I understand these breeders have excellent dogs - this is not a criticism.

"Long back legs" lol Can't really answer you that question as I never paid attention to this specific trait (conformation wise) lol. But my female has quite long legs, I can tell you one thing for sure tons of power comes from them. I handle a lot of working dogs but not a single one so far pulled as hard as my female (correction one male her half brother was pulling harder but he was almost twice her weight and 5 inches taller), and she was like that from very early on. At this point I have to wear a leather gloves to protect my hands especially when it's cold because during agitation she just delivers so much power that my skin cracks under the pressure.

Could some one please shed some light on this and verify if it is a negative thing on the side of Czech GSDs!!!!

Check out the back legs on my west german line dog!

Darylehret,
They look long, right? they are even causing the back to slope forward instead of backwards. Maybe this does not conform to the standard. I see some old dogs from which GSD evolved look like that.
This dog looks sure of himself and he has a marvellous face expression and a fierce look, marvellous ears also.

Hate to stray OT, but it's less exagerrated now that he's matured, the pic above was taken at 9 months old. Standard or not, I'd really not care, as he can outrun the vast majority gsd's. It's his first ever glance at a strange man with a sleeve on, acting suspicious about 40-50 feet away.

It's a nice picture, & if he were stacked, I'm sure he would look more typical. I like his looks, nice bone, what's his pedigree? So, just what did he do with that suspicious, sleeved stranger? Congrats, nice dog! jackie harris
To the OP...I think the Czech dogs also have a narrower waist, are more 'tucked up', & that exaggerates the length of the back legs....jmho,
This is my Czech/DDR/WGShowline girl, Ansgar at 9 months....& puppies always grow in sections, never evenly, so one end usually seems out of proportion. jh

Right you are, amazing how he developed and became very well proportioned his legs are not long anymore, he is more masculine and has great head. This proves how correct Kalibeck is correct saying ( puppies always grow in sections).

This is my czech female. She has longer back legs also...but I think it is what contributes to her SPEED....she is fast and can turn on a dime. Her sire is Mike Diehls black czech male Erri z Blatenskeho Zamku, the 2009 National Champ.
