I agree 100%! That’s why I have ISSR Shiloh Shepherds....... Old style rin tin tin types GSD.....
God bless you for not perpetuating the anatomical misery foisted onto a truly great breed solely for the sake of of “show fashion”.
Ironically, US Dobe breeders are currently importing a lot of Euro Dobes in order to “correct” the physical/health flaws they created by wrecking the short-backed, stocky Dobe and turning it into an “elegant” elongated, over-angulated “show pony”.
I bought Euro and will only buy Euro until I die.
I’m sorry, but aren’t Shilohs huge, huge-boned, stocky, and blocky? They are not like the original or even the “refined” post-Stephanitz. They are much too big, to start with.
