How can anyone even remotely think there is Borzoi blood in GSL bloodlines? LOL, why not Airedales? At least the colors would mesh, a Borzoi???? LOL!!!

noddi: I bet if you were to stand your supposidly straight backed dogs in a proper gsd show stance,then you will mosr definitely see a slight curve in the backline as the rear end drops when one leg is outstretched behind n the further its put back the greater the curve
I hope they do away with the silly "proper show stance" and make the dog stand normally/properly......like in the days before this "show stance" came about in the GSD. The show stance/stack is another one of the abominations that crept into the GSD fraternity, which I hope we totally move away from. None of these abnormal positionings were present in the GSD, until just a few decades back.....with the dog standing properly, 4-square.

Larhage, no way is airedale in the GSL, if it was they'd be able to catch a wild hog, LAMO!! ( at the thought of one of those pitiful dogs on this thread trying to run AWAY from a hog.) Also, no one said borzoi IS in the GSL,can you people even read? Gonna go ponder catching a wild hog with my WL now, so y'all have fun teaching your dogs to stack ;)

actually, it's pulling the near leg forward that accentuates the roach, not over stretching the offside.
it is what it is at this point and pointless to debate, especially with the knowledge shown here on the subject.

The silly exaggerated show stance is based on how a properly built well bred GSD stands. That is why they are not stacked square like most other breeds.They are not a square breed. The stack was not some crazy thing show people just randomly developed. It is natural to the breed. ( the poor positioning of some handlers is well just that, handler error)

I disagree. Click on the below link and go back to the several decades of GSDs, until around 1970 or thereabouts. Of course none of those specimens were placed in the "proper show stance" but looked just totally normal, well built and beautiful dogs. I wish we could get rid of the new-fangled "proper show stance" and go back to what the GSD truly was.

Well i went all the way back to 1900 on your link and the vasy majority were shown with one leg forward, the traditional show stace...so not really sure what your point was. There were only two or three stacked square.

Joanro, you go hunt hogs with your WL, I didn't get my dog to hunt hogs, fortunately he's talented enough to do lots of things, and look beautiful doing them. :)
