• German Shepherd Rumor ...

Rumor was absolutely stunning. Very focused. I've waited 30 years for another German shepherd to win. I was in tears. CONGRATULATIONS 👏
Shame the breed has gotten to a point where they think this heavily sloped back nonsense is better looking than a straight back. That dog is not functional, makes no sense to turn a working breed into this abomination. Happy a GSD won, not happy where the breed has gone to do so. 50lbs female with a heavily sloped back.
you're crying over a stupid competition? gg
@@adfasfuiuiui1056 It's not just a "competition". It's the future of ethical breeding. It's the future of living history.
@@adfasfuiuiui1056there's going to be millions of gsd's from rumor's lineage now.
😂
I love how all the dogs carry themselves so proudly.
But your right her back legs do look longer than many I’ve seen..and yet the first thing he talks about is breeder her..now you have me staring at my dogs legs!lol...so how do you find out if it’s from a work8mg line or show line!?? a I get the show line just look for a good show dog ,but working not sure,as mine is a service dog, but has a family going back who also showed them..
@@markim5087 working lines can not compete in shows under the AKC. The best way to differanciate is the lineage.
I don't think it's proud. They don't like having that thing in their necks, but they have been trained to know that they have to do it in order to get the treat. We tend to personify the dogs, but they don't even have the concept of what a show is.
@@davidsc4680 that thing is just a leash…and obviously dogs don’t know the purpose of a show. To them it’s just a sport. A trick to get a treat.
Yes that's the best part. 👌 @TheSergeantanMasadaShow2022
The German Shepherd "glide" in their stride is just beautiful!
And that face. Big ears and a face of a angel.
The fact that her ankles touch the ground on every step doesn't bother you?

I wanted to relive this moment again. Our family has had 3 GSD's over the years- Blitz, Magnum and BJ. Each had their own distinct personalities but all were loyal and fiercely protective. Rumor is a gorgeous GSD - great lines, coloring and trot.

Aw, she (Rumor) is so beautiful. They are so noble. I'm bunking with my 10th GS, Debbie Dog. (a rescue from city pound). the grandaughters love her because she is so protective. However, she HATES singing and howls during it. she even howls thru Final Jeopardy music and that always cracks us up....what a beauty and joy they are....

I hate what breeders have done to the German Shepherd. They look like they are in pain and it doesn't get any better with age. But congrats to Rumor. She's a beautiful dog.
That's why I always go to the working line German Shepherds (:
thats their natural look they are not hurt depressed or injured and any age you are you're you
German shepherds
You don’t know much about German Shepherds, do you?
I agree
They have made frogs out of German Shepherds over the years. Just check this breed 50 years back and you will know what I mean. Horrible!
This was the year I got my Maxim. He was papered German Shepherd but no where near this kind of discipline!
I had put put him down last August. He had cancer. I still love German Sheppards and regard them as the best dogs in the world. One day I'll get another.
Not for this competition, but he was the most gentle and best dog I ever known. He made me a dog person and why I watch this..Dogs are the best kind of people.
Oo, I'm so sorry about your lost💔
GSD’s my favorite!, yes, straight back should be the standard
And it is! A straight, level, firm, and strong back is written in standard.
And she had it in spades!

My aunt used to breed German Shepherds for the RCMP when I was a child. The German Shepherds of today make me want to cry, I think it's criminal what has been done to them.
completely agree. Well said!
Yes, you are 100% right!!!
We rescued our girl, she has severe displasia "thanks" to nowadays breeding.
Ohh yes Tundra! I agree totally with you, especially what all the people have changed to have this painful standard for the German Shepherds. It's a shame!
Yes! Absolutely agree with you! It's so sad
I agree with you, it's a sadness
Wow all of these dogs are beyond amazing. I'm in awe.
That boxer though 😍
I always loved German Shepherd's. And Rumor is beautiful. I'm glad she won. I still prefer my German Shepherd to look like the German version. that's the way our dog looked growing up.
i agree with you. the american GSD cant even COMPARE to the european GSD and the strict breed standards they have. most American GSD's now a day look like they're from backyard breeders. its sad.

The way the German Shepherd "glides" is what makes this the most beautiful of breeds (for me anyway)!

People don't know GSDs and it shows. RUMOR is a well bred and healthy GSD that meets standard and is a great example of the breed.
Yes I really do agree with you
‘Well bred’ by the standards of the people who created these ridiculous standards. Forget the slope back even, ask yourself this, what is Rumors life expectancy? What is her health like, over the course of her life? And what did the life expectancy and health of gsds used to be like?
@@HkFinn83 her back doesn't slope. It's not that hard to understand. She is stacked (stanced manually) to show the rear angulation of the hind legs. When she stands normally she has a nice level topline. Rumors pedigree is well known for longevity. Her parents are still alive. She is still alive and well. She competes in herding and fastcat now. Older dogs barely made it to their 5th birthday and many were ridden with hip/elbow dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, and cardiac issues. Thyroid issues were known in very early stock.
@@artiicom she does not in any way have ‘a nice level topline’. Look at her, its not that hard to understand. These show line gsds die of old age at 8, with myriad health problems. They have some of the worst incidence of hip dysplasia of any breed. German shepherds used to be an amazing dog that was used as working dogs in agriculture, police and military work. They don’t any more because show and backyard breeders ruined them. The gsd is the definition of a ruined breed. And no the dog in this video is not in any way a ‘herding’ dog. ‘Competing’ in a ridiculous ‘show’ is not herding. It’s a bunch of very odd people playing pretend. That’s not that hard to understand.
@@HkFinn83 Really? so my GSD must have been a miracle: Lady my GSD lived for 17 years !
Absolutely the right call. Gorgeous Shepherd. Perfect headpiece, structure. This type of dog is once in a lifetime.

THAT BOXER LOOKS AMAZING 💞

Beautiful GSD. I prefer the working lines over the show lines but this girl is a true beauty.
This make me reminds my memories when I was gifted a German shepherd dog by my dad his name was brandy she also protected us
Anyone that’s ever owned a German Shepard will tell you, there is no better dog you could have. I love all breeds, sincerely. But, a GSD is something special. Good Win.
💯💯💯 I agree. Had one, he was the best dog I've ever had. Was a blessing to have a German Shepherd best friend for 15 years. I still cry when I remember him. The best breed. GSD❤️
He is a beauty, but I wish theyd change the standard to eliminate that extreme angulation in the hind quarters. The *German* German Shep looks far more stable & hardy to me.
Bunnies4wool it's a she
you know it’s just how it stacks, right? their backs aren’t actually like that lmfao
Not to mention working like GSD have nerves of steel and show line shepherds are mainly bred for looks and not function.
Actually it’s the way the stack the dogs, not what they actually look like 🤷♀️
Aida Hehir look at the gsds from the early 1900s. they were stacked the same exact way and backs still straight. so something must have changed. (hocks??)
Beautiful !!!!! Rumor !!!!!! I love her !!!!!! She is stunning !!!!
German Shepherds are a noble, intelligent breed and have a stunning beauty that stands out, my favorite breed.

Anyone just hate how in any other show, the German Shepherd's hocks are literally touching the ground..?
Yes! That deep slanted back wit hocks to the floor looks so painful and unnatural!
Hock walking is a DQ is the show ring. Rumour doesn't hock walk.
@@deborahswanson8457 the sloped topline is caused by the stack
Hock walking is a disqualification, it may look like it, but it's just bad handling or conditions.
They are ALL JUST BEAUTIFUL!

Love this
I am so proud of being the owner of german shepherd ☺️
Uhh u sure? What's ur name?
Splendid dog!! Slight roach, nothing extreme, alert, intelligent, and commanding in the ring! Congrats Rumor! So happy for the GSD community!
Kim Stephens
Agreed,that she's a nice dog but there is no roach on this dog, otherwise she wouldn't have won the breed group. The AKC considers the roaching topline trait faulty.

The people running with the dogs are in great shape.
I really really really really like German Shepherds and huskies are my favorite dogs that I like and wolves too
Then you need to visit Wolf Park and sponsor a wolf too!
Charley - Have you heard that genetic analysis has led to the domestic dog being reclassified as a sub-species of wolf by the scientific community? Interesting, eh?
OMG same! Have you heard of a Shiloh shepherd or king shepherd
@@HobbyOrganist I heard wolf sanctuaries can be bad because they only have small runs
Beautiful dog! My female GSD looks a lot like her. The most magnificent breed in the world!
Hi
My male too
Totally deserved! Great dog! Rumor!
I love GSD. My first dog was also a GSD. They are exceptional. I'm not a fan of these dog shows but I'm glad the GSD won. Also GSDs are best hardy imo. Loving the Boxer too. Very good breed.
Czech Working lines have really straight backs and I prefer them to German show lines now. They are taking over slowly which is great stuff! Too many GSD's have backs like a collapsed shelf.
that German shepard is stunning!!!!
Dog not allowed ect
I was knocked down by a boxer running towards me. I was 6, standing on his lawn. He thought, "She looks easy!"
when i saw the pekingese I was like "what is that?" then realized it was a dog..
but I mean like seriously the way it walk is just sooooo cute XD
I thought it was a walking carpet.
Imagine the shedding they do..
Walking mop
Yeah. When I saw that thing I thought it looked like a little monster from another planet. Creepy.
I need Rumor and the Norwich Terrier in my life. 😍😍😍😍
Ms. Keysha Wineglass i liked Duffy
At 7:47 the GSD seems to say "I don't need you" I can do this on my own.
Yeah, and *don't forget my treat!*
I would like a Rumor pup, living in UK not much chance of that. Well done! Love GSD X
At least this German Shepherd almost has normal hind legs...would be nice if the WKC moved past the obsession with a less functional dog, though.
Almost normal? This is horrible!
Stick with cats, you don't know what you're talking about!
+1 ! Rumor looks incredibly strong ! If gsd could turn like her, it would be a winning for the breed !
darkphoenix2 Yes almost pleased to see breed is moving in the right direction👏
martial artist. my shepherd is also from working lines and he doesn't have that hitch in his git-a-long like a show dog. my thought is that working lines are more true to the original breed standard. however, i think they can be more challenging to have as a family pet due to their strong drive to work, work, work
0:43 Clarabelles and Pete’s cheering and clapping in a ship
Can't beat a German Shepherd. Gorgeous, very intelligent, very obedient, loyal, loving and fiercely protective.
Proud owner of a 4 year old female. I have countless friends, but I've never had a better friend then my girl.
Ryhab Whit I agree ! I have a three year old boy. My first one ever and I have fallen in love! Amazing and strong breed! 🤗
German shepherd is the best dog ever to me!!! 🔝🔝🔝❤️
I LOVE IT....great win for the GSD
Well deserved. Very obvious, that she will win! 🐶
Forever love my GSDs ❤️
I bet I would not win if I put my beautiful working line German shepherd in show. He has beautiful back and back hips and legs
Magnificent dog
German Shepherd- Strong frame, beautiful coat, easy to train, great companions. What more could you ask for in a dog?
Healthy dog.
@@linajurgensen4698 I don’t think you know what to your talking about.
@luca violini it does have straight legs
@luca violini straight legs are unhealthy for any dogs. The rear angulation helps them function and do their job efficiently.
@@linajurgensen4698 show lines are still healthy. They just get a bad rep bc of byb.
idk what this is about exactly yet i came here as soon as i read “Germen Shepherd” and dogs 😂
Beautiful dog! Yea, Rumor!
Yay Rumor!!
"How to train your human" - by Rumor
Just got a German Shepherd puppy, but that little short-hair is the bee’s knees!!!
Bout time!!!! Should win Best in Show more often.🧐❤🐕
Beautiful show.. Ty for sharing and love it too....
Finally a real dog!!
REAL ANIMAL
I'm glad my German shepherd doesn't have that sloping back to cause them pain. she was a straight back and normal legs, I love her. I guess at least Rumors back isn't as sloped as other dogs, not too sloped.
This made me cry , I have Belgian malinois , line family of shepherds... ilove them their statute and fierce is so beautiful......all breed dogs are beautiful but this one stands it all
I own a GSD and this one reminds me of mine.
She’s absolutely beautiful!
I’m glad mine has perfect hocks and doesn’t walk on them.
No angular back or lowered hind quarters.
I hate how dog shows have an obsession making them walk on their hocks though, non the less, Shes an amazingly behaved dog !
28:00 A basket of screams
I loved my 12 year old German German Sheperd..he was a Gorgeous longhair..stopped traffic everywhere I went..people thought he was Gorgeous and he was. TRACKER was the best dog ever..I feel sorry for pugs but had them all my life. But I agree they shouldnt breed certain traits at the dogs expense.
They are the best dogs period.
I am so happy rumor won she is the best german shepherd dog i have ever seen!
DDR GSDs are the best working dogs. Ugly as a mud fence, however.
No way, I've seen far more beautiful GSDs. And without that hideous slope
ThePopbanks007
There is no slope on this dog when she stands naturally. It is only when she is stacked (posed) that you see some slope.
+Paz & Rex the German Shepherd Then you either bad eyesight or have no idea what a working line GSD should look and move like. There is such an obvious slope than I think you have to be trolling.
ThePopbanks007 Obviously though this isn’t a working line GSD. WLs and ASLs have different standards.
