That is wrong on so many levels. Until the judges stop giving ribbons for this it will never stop. I do not understand why people feel the need to breed dogs into something they are not.

Handle every stressful situation like a dog. If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away.

It looks like they are handicapped.

That is really awful. They do, indeed, looked handicapped - as if they got hit by a car and that's the best they could recover.

I wonder, does anyone actually think that is attractive in a GSD? I certainly don't find anything remotely attractive, I find it disturbing and disgusting.

Oh my God that is sickening... I could not finish watching it, after the first GSD trotted. I'm utterly disturbed, what a heartbreaking sight that is. I saw that special from the UK about dogs and how we've changed them over the years, when I see those before and afters, it makes me cringe in disgust. They've ruined them.

They did a great job of showcasing the "loosest" dogs and worst handling they could find. Not a single dog on that video is actually gaiting.
