A must watch for pedigree dog owners

i have read one of the comments of the site. just want to share.

"Dogs should be bred for health, intelligence and their ability to work, not looks!"

[guilliam]

sakto gyud sir sakto.
sakit kaayo tan awun nga breeders. even reputable one's would turn the other way to the point mutilating the creatures that put them in the top in the first place.

one example that really hit my nerve is that they have to cull or dispose a white perfectly healthy german shepperd just because of it's color.

and looking at show type GS they cant even support their hind legs for god's sake! and thats what they call a proper german sheperd?! where is the purpose of the breed?!

i hope that every1 could watch this documentary.
invest 50 mins of your time to watch this film.
i guarantee that it would be 50 mins well spent.

the showtype GSD now is more like a "frog than a dog".
if capt stephanitz is alive today; he must be very disgusted what his breed creation have become after 100 years.

GSD enthusiasts not digging much on the breed's history and purpose wont even be able to recognize what breed of dog this is:

wow,dugay nko wa kakita ani dah.this is a classic pix of the 1st GSD..HEKTOR V. LINKSRHEIN SZ.1 (which was renamed by capt.max v. stephanitz to HORAND V. GRAFRATH),the prototype german shepherd dog!
in his book,The GSD:in word & picture,he stated that "to breed a GSD, is to breed a working dog..otherwise its not GSD breeding at all".this statement alone(along with the necessary breed health & temperament tests) should be the motive & 'blueprint' of not just GSD breeders/judges/enthusiasts but of all the purebred dogs as well....& should not be misinterpreted coz proper form follows function.

that is correct. a GSD is a "working dog", otherwise its just a dog or another breed(as envisioned by capt stephanitz). that is the reason why SV siegers in EU and US; first and foremost requirement to qualify to be an entry is that the entry should at least be a certified SCHH2(both male and female). functionality and workability FIRST before conformation.

ang pinaka dako nga ma learn ani or as an eye-popper is that pure breed dogs(pedigreed dogs) are mostly inline-bred. as per the "kennel club" before a new breed is approved for breed registration; it is required for 5 generations(5 if im not mistaken) of breeding from the same line. so this follows that if its from the same line; this will definitely come across a breeding of "inline-bred".

^^this is the forefront vision of capt. stephanitz(father of the GSD breed).

^^these were the days before 1980's and on the eastern germany(and most communist part) side. there is a good discussion here in istorya about WGSD's how it was so politically motivated and historically formed. BBC exaggerated that on the white GSD as of the present time(blame it on Hitler and credits to the democratic west). in the present time; culling of white gsd is like culling a GOOD MARKET, of which either EU or US market is in great demands of WGSD's.

ON THE FROG LIKE STRUCTURE OF GSD's:
when it comes to GSD's; its still in a big debate about the "sloping back" showline types and the "straight back" working line types of whom or which among the two functions better(and faster)in trotting. no question that the grey hounds are the fastest among other breeds; if you will take a close look on the grey hounds they have sloping backs also; grey hounds are "believed" to have an edge in speed because of the sloping back or higher front, lower back. stronger back push(because of lower back which equates to lower gravity) longer reach(higher/longer front). i "think" the modern GSD standard was patterned after this(though there are no claims from evidential literature that i have come into).

so i dont think "and looking at show type GS they cant even support their hind legs..." this is done without any sense of functionality. BBC pointed on the "show ring" on the GSD on this docu, NOT the landesgruppen or the siegers that GSD's are required to trot/run unlike in the show ring that the GSD just walks or in a walking manner. im saying that BBC oversaw the "functionality" of the sloping backs as "believed" to have an edge with straight backed gsd's.

either which way; i agree on the docu that GSD now is more like a "frog than a dog".
