I don't like the modern GSD, I like the old GSD... from like 20 years ago and more. I like those that are trying to breed GSD to what they once were.

AKC will tell you otherwise, but true GSD's are nothing more than lovable, trainable wolf-dogs. It's on the original breed books.

This is why i considered getting a Saarloose or Shiloh Shepherd after King passed away. They're closer to being a GSD than what today's GSD's are. I grew up with the GSD being my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE breed in the whole wide world. In the past five years though I've met one that even came close to being the breed i came to know and love. Now I'm so disappointed with the breed. Belgium Shepherds are growing on my good list though I just know they are the work-a-holic counterpart to the GSD... I don't think I'd ever be able to provide enough stimulation for one.

I miss having a favorite breed the way I loved GSDs.
