Old Fashioned German Shepherds - Old Style German Shepherds

Old fashioned German Shepherds, old style German Shepherd breeder in Pennsylvania - This video depicts what an old fashioned German Shepherd is (sometimes known as old style German Shepherds, old world German Shepherds, old fashion German Shepherds or variational spellings of old fashioned German Shepards, old style German Shepards, old fashion German Shepards) and how they compare to dogs of today as well as the dogs bred by Pioneer German Shepherds, an old fashioned German Shepherd breeder. FAQ at http://www.pioneergermanshepherds.com... for more information.

Pioneer German Shepherds breeds sweet-tempered plush and long coat (long haired) German Shepherd Dogs that are oversized with a laidback temperament. Please note that our dogs are NOT Shiloh Shepherds but are distantly related, with larger size and less angulation than most GSD. Nor are they King Shepherds, however they are above average in size (some say king sized) with a large-boned structure. However, all are AKC German Shepherd Dogs. Puppies are whelped indoors and raised underfoot in our home with lots of love, occasionally available to select companion homes. For more information about our dogs, see our website at http://www.pioneergermanshepherds.com or http://www.squidoo.com/largegermanshe...

I really like your German shepherds! Lets keep the straight back, muscular, old school German shepherds!

I've had GSDs as family members throughout my life. All had the normal straight backs. Went to an AKC show 10 yrs ago with my husband and kids just for something to do. We were horrified. The poor dogs looked pitiful to us. When they walked it looked crippled and even painful. It was so disturbing and sad we only stayed a few minutes. What they've done to the breed should be against the law. It's animal cruelty.

If Von Stephanitz should came back to the world of the living in these days....He would attend a dog show and when he is shown the Champions and the judges say to him: "These are pure German Shepperd dogs", I am sure he will respond: "No they are not. And.........by the way......what do you mean by saying they are pure?"

Loved the Old German Sheperds. Those Beauty Shows of today are destroying the breed, because they have biased too much for the Old Standards and judge the dog only for appearance, not working performance. We all here who want to save the breed have to find solutions to the problem. For example, we need to get AKC and other the kennel clubs checkout they standards and use the old standard and old pictures as a model for the breeding programs

What backyard breeders do to this beautiful breed today is a crime and should be illigal!!

Beautiful video!! Lets preserve this amazing breed by keeping the old fashioned traits it had that made it to be the best all round working dog it is!

that's the thing they aren't the "old fashion or old style" its called the Standered. the straight top lines (backs) is what the standered says! i'm not sure of what people are trying to get into these days but theses AREN'T german shepherd... its sad. i have a male that i show and is pretty well exactly what the standered says and i get laughed at by judges because hes "different" when in reality hes the proper. its just disgusting. feel free to check my site out to see my HANDSOME boy, briley

The American line dogs that you see at the AKC shows today have straight back too. They just have a lot of angulation. The roached back is more common with the german show line dogs, but you don't see these type of dogs at AKC shows. Theyre shown at the sieger dog shows.

People get too hung up on stuff they read on the net. These are working dogs and the dogs in this video can work just as well (or as poorly) as the dogs in those dog shows. I'll guarantee none of these dogs have IPO titles.

This breeder does not breed the type of dogs that von stephanitz envisioned when he created this breed. He never wanted an oversized, low drive, long coat dog. Breeding dogs like this is just as bad as breeding the propaganda pictures used in this video. Though I also don't agree with where the GSD show world is going these days... breeding these oversized or "old fashioned" dogs is just as bad. A bit of the pot calling the kettle black going on here, but whatever sells pups, I guess.

In my opinion the DDR Czech lines of German Shepherds are the closes when it comes to the original German Shepherd dog.

Also I prefer the standard size and weight. I don't understand why people need to make these breeds bigger, all it does is limit the kind of work the dog can do.

Upon a second look, at the female at 0:29, she could almost be that dog. Same color, pattern, and shape. I will now take better care of her. Super sweet and super smart too Thanks for the vid.

I'm happy to report that mine is just like the 1940's female shown.
