At some point somebody has got to tell these breeders that "The emporer is not wearing any clothes". Sure, most won't listen, because they love their doggies, and they love their pretty blue ribbons, and probably really love the puppy sale$ and stud fee$.

But yes, such corrections often fall on deaf ears. Let's see... how does that proverb go... A man's way is right in his own eyes, even when his feet are on the path to destruction.

... or when his dog's hocks are dragging on the ground...

And yes, Rik, I had the same questions myself when I saw that ad. I swear he was listed as "top producing" stud. It's been a while, at least a year ago. Maybe his owners pulled the ad when they realized their wunder-stud couldn't deliver the goods. LOL

It just hit, me, Shelly! I think we both posted pictures of the same bitch! Maybe the person who placed the ad didn't have enough English to realize they'd said 'stud' instead of 'bitch', or maybe they posted the wrong picture. If you look closely at your picture, you will see there is just NO WAY that could be a male. Even if he had really long hair on his belly, there would still be SOME hint of some genitals hiding in all that fur1

I really like that Maximus vom Trompetersprung you posted Sunsilver. Link above. I remember checking that dog out the day they added it to the PDB. Very nice show dog I think.

If I was a breeder. He be my #1 show sire.

Sunsilver,

The two pictures are not of the same dog whether bitch or stud, at least that is what I can see.

I found these 2 on here. The second one is a bitch that was for sale and theadvert said she had been mated and that she is a great worker and fabulous producer. The first one is an American Champion.

The second could use a better feeding program, she looks rough.

Come on, BabyEagle, quit pulling my leg! I can name a number of things wrong with that dog's structure that would prevent me from considering him as a stud, aside from the fact I think he's butt-ugly!

For one thing, his eyes are too light, and his head is WAAAYYY too heavy, His skull is has too high a dome,, and his muzzle is too short.He also has a broken topline, and a straight, upright front. His back looks more like a camel's than a GSD's, and I can't imagine it being very flexible. And that's JUST for starters!

Okay, I flipped the picture Shelly posted, and lightened it a bit, so you can see more detail of the face:

All right, yes, they aren't the same dog (or bitch!) This one has more of a curve to its back. But they COULD be siblings!

by Rik on 30 October 2009 - 23:10

SS, I have to believe that is a bitch. Look at the head. Besides lacking the boy stuff on one end, the head is feminine.

Body is a little on the masculine side. Maybe a tad too much bow in the back, but other than that and could use a little better saddle, I like her. Shoulder is very nice. Croup looks good. Angles look good. E/W feet don't look so good.

If it turns out to be a male, I'm going to erase this post.

I have a question on this post - all these pictures that are posted of "terrible dogs"- where are they coming from guys - are they from the database that you pic out and think they are poor specimens as GSD - or are they personal dogs that you know....

Happyday
