the video is very generalized and i will guarantee that the angles of each dog in the trotting photos very from the skeletal graphics.
the trot of the gsd is incorrect........as the fore and hind paws are to hid the ground at the same time for power and endurance.
by the front overextending and then hitting the ground after the hind energy is wasted.

Np Blitzen. I agree it is too general Sitas but at least in the front of the video she stresses STRONG pasterns.... something that gets away a lot
by SitasMom on 26 June 2013 - 14:06
weak pasterns are a falt.........
GSD breed standard........
The pastern has a length of approx. 1/3 of the forearm, and has an angle of approx. 20° to 22° to the forearm. A slanted pastern (more than 22°) as well as a steep pastern (less than 20°) impairs the suitability for work, particularly the stamina.

um sitas.... I am saying pasterns should be strong and that too many weak ones are being passed along so you do not have to agrue or press point at me on that lol I am saying I LIKE how the voice in the video stressed the need for strong pasterns which I feel are breed is getting lax in.

the breed isn't getting soft, the judges are blind.
plenty of showline breeders are producing strong balanced GSD and don't care about winning in the showring.

The video, Dog Steps, and the book by the same name was intended to apply to dogs in general. Everyone has seen the video of Dingo; for most, probably the best illustration of correct GSD movement. The main reason I posted that video was to show how angulation is determined and how that relates to movement. That was a concern voiced in this thread.

--- > will american breeders ever start breeding for a more well rounded GSD?
I guess the chances are the same as the German Breeders breeding a more balanced dog ;) Well, sorry, but its true..
