I realize that not all show breeders do this, but many are only after the trophy, they are not interested in "bettering the breed".
When the standard is not in the best interest of the breed, the breeders need to taske as stasnd on behslf of the dog.
We just watched the Eucanuba dog show a few weeks ago. ASnd they showed the wining GSD from 1997, I think it was. And that dog was upright on it's back legs, not crouched like they are now.
Then the announcers sasy that the crouch is as trademark of the GSD, designed so they can spring into action quickly. What a bunch of poppy cock. Rin Tin Tin never looked like that |
yeah it is really sad and this breed has so many health issues it makes me mad. I grew up with a sheltie when very young with epilepsy so i saw that disease then had shih tzu for years and my parents bred two litters of healthy pups so all this health stuff with mine I just do not understand it nor do my parents they are like wth is up with the yorkies as they have a silky who is very healthy - it makes me sad not to mention crazy lolll so i have become crazy paranoid because of all the health issues and cost of vet care i have been through and why i always try to help others as it is very frustrating having sick dogs. Also have not been on vacation for 2 years as afraid to leave them with anyone so it is very sad as I want to go to meet ups and have fun with them but now so dang paranoid
