German Shepherd Breed Standards
As you can
clearly see from each of the predominate Kennel
Clubs, there is no definitive standard defining
the German Shepherd breed, and each
interpretation is different as you can clearly
see in the General Appearance guidelines
defining the German Shepherd Breed. Seeing
this we have stepped up to the plate in joining
the SV in membership to develop our dogs in the
world's largest dog club. Our dogs meet
and exceed the standards set forth by the club.
We are providing this information because it is
our responsibility as German Shepherd breeders
to produce a world class dog, and inform you as
to the reasoning behind it.

General
Appearance
The first impression of a good German Shepherd Dog is that
of a strong, agile, well-muscled animal, alert and full of life. It should both
be and appear to be well balanced, with harmonious development of the
forequarter and hindquarter. The dog should appear to the eye, and actually be,
longer than tall, deep bodied, and present an outline of smooth curves rather
than corners. It should look substantial and not spindly, giving the impression
both at rest and in motion of muscular fitness and nimbleness without any look
of clumsiness or soft living. |

General Appearance
The first impression of a good German
Shepherd Dog is that of a strong, agile,
well muscled animal, alert and full of
life. It is well balanced, with
harmonious development of the
forequarter and hindquarter. The dog is
longer than tall, deep-bodied, and
presents an outline of smooth curves
rather than angles. It looks substantial
and not spindly, giving the impression,
both at rest and in motion, of muscular
fitness and nimbleness without any look
of clumsiness or soft living. The ideal
dog is stamped with a look of quality
and nobility-difficult to define, but
unmistakable when present. Secondary sex
characteristics are strongly marked, and
every animal gives a definite impression
of masculinity or femininity, according
to its sex. |
