Couldn't agree more, it's horrible, and borders on abusive given the problems that result in many breeds. Show German Shepherds currently look horribly broken, like someone reassembled a kit wrong. When we got ours we found a kennel that had "English" German Shepherds - flat back like a shepherd would be if you saw photos from the 40s or 60s. Far too clever for his own good that dog, I miss him.
