Showline GSDs - Have you seen this?
http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/1791...rman-shepherds/
These seem like German Show lines and they don't seem nearly as bad as some American GSDs I've seen. |

Re: Showline GSDs - Have you seen this?
You know what's bad?? That we look at that and say, "ah, that's not so bad."
I did the same thing when I first opened the videos-- I expected something "horrible." What I saw was pretty normal for quite a few of the Euro showlines I have seen. (NOT all of them.)

Re: Showline GSDs - Have you seen this?
I'm sorry, but if ANY of my dogs started moving like that we'd be heading to the vet for a barrage of tests and x-rays to figure out what is wrong.

Re: Showline GSDs - Have you seen this?
Well that is not how my Am/Can line moves but he liked them, he climbed on my lap and tried to sniff the screen, and he has never done this before. Maybe he thought they were clowns or showmen? I don't know but he was interested. He moves without being cowhocked, he has firm not shaky legs, and he single tracks. I think so far the worst about his movement is he throws out his front feet and pounces on everything. Hopefully he grows out of this but he has a strong rear. This is my personal opinion on a 9 mon old but I think it would be pretty factual.

Re: Showline GSDs - Have you seen this?
I have to agree with Chris Wild. If I saw that dog outside of a show ring I would ask the owner if his back left leg was broken or injured. It appears shaky. It is painful to watch this dog walk.

Re: Showline GSDs - Have you seen this?
At Nikon's first show I saw a puppy walk by and I thought it had a neurological disorder. It was severely cowhocked, legs quivering, walking on hocks, and dragging its feet. Much to my surprise and amusement when our number was called they were next to us in the ring!

Re: Showline GSDs - Have you seen this?
I took in a female (Euro showlines) who was pregnant and had a litter at my house 9 days later. One of the pups had issues with her heart and when I took her to the vet school, they were VERY concerned about the way she moved. I had to explain that was not why she was there
