I agree that Eva's lines are out of the published standard dimensions but they are not out of line with her ancestors as far back as I can trace. I didn't realize the working GSDs were expected to meet standards as they often don't, usually owing to coat or color.

I did a lot of research before getting Eva, wanted to make sure she had the double coat, good hips and good lines, and nice coloring and I was able to meet many of her relatives as the breeder is a passed-down family business and the retired breeders remain as pets.

These are her sire and dam.
