I was looking at the gait on shawlein.com. I tried looking over it many times, but couldnt figure out. What is the difference between the illustration of the walk & the overangulated walk.. Can someone explain to me please.

In Fig 2 (The over angulated walk) look at the placement of the hind feet, in comparison to the Walk in Fig 1
The hind feet placement is further under the body in Fig 2 than in fig 1
The illustrations aren't very clear though.
The only way to see this clearly or to understand it, is to see different types of GSD moving in Real life.

"Over angulation" usually refers to the rear end and is usually a combiniation of more than extreme angles. Bone length, loose ligaments also factor in.
If you look at the contracting rear limb in fig. 2 (the one under the body) you will see that the hock is almost flat on the ground. I have seen many dogs with a callous worn on the hock from this action.

Ambii thank you for the help. And yes the best way to see this is to see real GSD's in life. I am going to a show soon, and hope to. Thank you for the advice.
Rik: OK thanks. I looked and i understood waht you said. You are right it is almost flat, OK thank you.

Rik,
If a 8 week puppy has a flat hook on ground, he will come out of it as he matures or it will always be like that?. You know why I am asking (because I see many puppies having flat hooks on the floor)!!

Ibrahim, the rear can tighten up as the dog matures.
In the case of Am. S/L, (speciality) they are bred for extreme angles at both ends and I never met anyone who thought it was that big of an issue as long as the rear movement wasn't overly sloppy.
