Thanks for the info on the slope-back look. My Max has a level back and his ancestors were from Germany only two generations ago. He is strong in his back legs and can stand on them unsupported, and can leap quite high while chasing a frisbee. No hip problems with him.

Shay had no hip problems either. He died this year from cancer of the spleen. My sister sent me this thread because she knows of our love for Shay (and Shepherds) and she lost her wonderful Charlie this year too.

Did you intentionally get a German bloodline shepherd?
