I have to disagree with this. A GSD is definitely not for everyone. Being in German Shepherd Rescue I can tell you that the majority of dogs I've seen turned in for behavioural issues (and they include American lines and BYBs) do just fine once they're placed in competant homes. Don't get me...

Oh no, I feel that everbody is entitled to an opinion, but there's a difference between stating your opinion, and stating, as fact, outrageous claims against a breed. If your original statements had been that you feel that many GSDs are overangulated, that some of American lines have been...

The problem is, that isn't all you said. Up until recently in this thread, you never bothered making any distictions in lines. You said that German Shepherds are crippled, cannot stand properly unless they have their leg propped under them and that a GSD that can stand square probably isn't...

You are correct in that police depts, not to mention those doing schutzhund and people interested in GSDs with correct drive, go with German lines. We have already discussed the damage that has been done to the American showlines by breeding for the look, instead of the whole package of what a...

This entire thread is bordering on the point of being amusing. You're right, they need the leg there to support them. All the running, jumping and police work they do is merely a facade, fabricated to untruthfully portray German Shepherds, because we know a dog so crippled that they need to...

While I haven't had the opportunity to own hundreds of German Shepherds, I most definitely have had contact with that many and with hundreds of more owners. On a German Shepherd board, with a membership of thousands, we have a handful of cases that have dysplasia. I know several breeders of...

Actually, it is very true. The higher quality the kibble, the less cheap fillers they use, the less cheap fillers, the more nutritional value your dog is actually recieving per cup of kibble. You will feed less of a very high quality kibble...less enough to offset the cost? Possibly not, but...

Bi-Colour is a pattern in which the 'saddle' covers most of the body, leaving markings only on feet and sometimes face. Here's a couple of pictures of bi-colour GSDs.

A bi-colour is essentially a black dog with tan markings on the feet and under the base of the tail. Sometimes you'll see just a touch of tan on the chest and, cheeks and eyebrows. The belly and underchest hair will be black. Some dogs will have more tan up the legs, or larger or smaller...

Oops, sorry, I was thinking of the Dutch Shepherd for the brindle coat. I recently saw some pics of some amazing looking brindle Dutch Shepherds, but you're correct, the Malinois doesn't come in brindle.

Hi, I've never actually posted here, only lurked, but I just wanted make a comment in regards to It's true that many police departments are going to Malinois. A lot of this has to do with all the irresponsible breeding of German Shepherds, which has led to a variety of health problems...
