It is a misinformation because looking at the anatomy of the German Shepherd Dog, all German Shepherds have a straight and firm back. It is clearly written in the breed standard of the German Shepherd Dog. The only thing allowed to be sloppy in the topline of the GSD is thr croup.

Most of what you guys call "Slant back" are dogs with serious defects ranging from weak/bad pasterns, too deep angulation and also what is popular known as cow hock. Some of these dogs ared are deformed but the average Nigerian canine enthusiast thinks that is a Showline.

Finally the topline of a GSD doesn't determine the bloodline. Only the pedigree does.

Don't forget these dogs can be highly susceptible to other genetic diseases found in dogs like hip dysplasia among others ( see https://dogleashpro.com/dog-care/dog-health/Canine-Degenerative-Myelopathy-When-to-Euthanize for more info on spinal issues which used to be called the "german shepherd disease".), especially dogs for security which tend to be larger breeds like GSD's are more prone to a wider range of issues outside of just hip issues.

Aside from that, I have a shepherd mix and he guards very well and was pretty easy to train just following simple guides online. I would recommend checking out youtube and putting some time into it rather than looking for a professional trainer.
