So I and my friends (Gsd owners) ,were arguing about straight and slant back gsds and my take on it was..
.
I don't appreciate slant GSDs I feel they are just bred for looks..my gsd is straight backed

These German Shepard breed has been messed up by clueless breeders. ..
Let's stop slanting GSD it limits their overall performance. .

Same here.. I don't really like slant gsd.

They are like cockroaches to me.

It is funny many "professional" (illeterate) Nairaland breeders think slant backs are the Pedigree for the name "German Shepherd". They think others are inferior.
Fact is there is concern by breeders worldwide on the deformities that are popular with slant backs and how much the german shepherd breed has detioriated to the level of the slant backs.
Only ignoramuses would argue that slant backs are original german shepherds, they are infact a far-cry from what original shephards look like. Let me see the fake breeders that wld come here and argue blindly.

The breed has been "crippled" all because of aesthetics over well-being of the dog

hard mirror yu said it all. slant back GSD are for show while straight back GSD are working class..... but I still prefer slant back GSD because if their beauty and the slant back does not limit it's performance.

I used to be in love with the slant back but not anymore, especially after I got to know they were bred to look that way just for the show appeal. I think it is a negetive to the breed for them to have the froglike hind leg.

Sorry to say this bro... .it does limit it's performance. ..whenever my gsd pup plays with my friends slant GSDs she's faster and more flexible (she can quickly change direction) ...slant backs get hip dysplasia very often ...

Yea they are more prone to hip dysplasia. that's the only side effect I know of. Any way it's all down to choice.

Yea they are show dogs not working dogs.

Get a DDR German Shepherd, your love for slant will die right now.

For me,slantbacks meets d needs of a normal dog lover that jst needs a pet and an alert dog...having a straightback that you don't "work" is a total waste of dog
