I grew up with GS and we breed them. But nowadays there is so much inbreeding. The breeders have changed dogs and cats so much. If you look at the Persian cats from 20 years ago and now their faces have totally changed.
Both dogs and cats are bred to the point where they have breathing problelms, hip problems etc....
With millions of animals being put down every year no one needs to breed for show.
If you breed for police work or for seeing eye dogs or such I can understand that but to breed for show. I think that needs to end now.

I would hate to think how I would feel if people suddenly decided they hated the GSD because of stigmas created by man, and then stop breeding them all together. My family would never be complete with out a German Shedder in the house.
