Thats a spring bounce- and alot of dogs will do that on a turn. Its encouraged to show " flash" so to speak.

GSDs do have a very unique stack. And it is actually how they will stand on their own at times. I catch my boy standing like that at times (It is called a Free Stack when they do it on their own).

Not all GSDs have that exagerated angulation ;) Mostly American Showlines do. And sometimes German Showlines.
Working lines have very little angulation. Which I find much more appealing. It is all a matter of personal opinion though.

And surprisingly (I was surprised to find this out). The exagerated angulation does not cause HD. We had a discussion about this on the GSD forum because a lot of people thought it caused hip problems because often it looks so painful for the dogs.

Which brings me to question.......................

where are the rest of the pics??? I am waiting with baited breath to see the rest....esp. the dobies..*hint hint* ahem cough cough ;)

Haha, I know I know, I keep telling everyone they will be here. There are just so many of them I'm trying to figure out just how to post them. I can't link to my photo album because there are a ton of other photos in there and I'm far too lazy to upload them all into a different photo album. LoL. I'm in quite a bind.

I guess I'll just start posting them. Hope it doesn't kill anyones computers.

god they are so gorgeous! but i hate how they breed their back legs like that, i think its disgusting.

Very handsome!

I still drool over his picture :D
