German Shepherd now (10/14)

Even a German Shepherd, which was often the standard of a “real” dog, is degrading. The book “Breeds of all nations” describes the standard of 25-30 kg. Today it is a very heavy dog. Hence immediate problems with the spine and hind legs. Dysplasia of the elbow and hip joint, disease of the intervertebral discs, lameness. As well as diabetes, cataracts and all kinds of tumors. Once the dogs of this breed were able to take barriers 2.6 meters high, but now their croup is lowered, the dog has become angular, and the chest sticks out with a wheel – accordingly, the German Shepherd already does not have such physical indicators.
