I just thought I would make one note to the show folks who have alot more experience than I do :

The White Shepherd should be shown more moderatley than the German Shepherd...less extreme side gait and less extreme stack...the emphasis in movement isnt placed on the side gait - the front and rear gait are seriously important as well to these folks. The last judge I asked about it said that their trot / stack is 'more functional' (behind his hand )

Soooo...that's just the note I had O.o lol - I have given some suggestions...but I am not gonna lie...I am so new and frequently screw up so royally that I just try to go in an have fun and not make a fool out of myself. (like that time I forgot to stack Ruby, or that time when I went into the ring with my keys on my carabiner still attached to my pants...or that time I tripped over Leo....hmmmmm.) Most of you have seen more shepherds showing than I have...and if you can apply the above to that I would really like to hear what you have to say....because...well...as my SchH buddies say, I'm a clutz and do everything in a clutzish fashion O.o
