The destruction of the German Shepherds as a breed is sad, but my father told me years ago that they "Bred the brains out of them". There's a reason my uncle Fred got his shepherds from Germany instead of getting them from a "reputable" breeder in the states.
Ayup - even if his Trooper ended up with "ears so big his brains fell out" (as Uncle Fred used to joke), at least his hips were fine, and he was a gorgeous, healthy dog!
