Description
When I had the Collie Wobs I also had German Shepherds. This is Helen, she was a quiet gentle little girl. In the background is Della.
Quality not good sorry. Its such a shame that GSD's have changed so much, I hate to see the banana backs & very weak hocks that a lot have now.
Thanks for all the lovely comments & favs, so, so appreciated. xxx

I do so agree with you about GSDs The kennel Club have a lot to answer for.
Barbara, I think this is a marvelous photo of them and I'm so glad you shared it with us. I've always liked German Sheperds.
A treasured capture of fond memories.... German shepherds, such a handsome breed... my old neighbour had them for years, she has paintings on the walls at her home of them all... I believe the breed can suffer from hip issues?.. dysplasia, it is indeed genetic and if I'm not mistaken it can show up in dogs as young as two years.. is it like 1 in 5 dogs can be affected?.
This is what a German Shepherd should look like!
She is a beautiful dog!
Rin tin tin The program on tv , Very nice dogs and surely a lot of memories ((5++))
Lovely looking German Shepard Barbara, I had one many years ago, he was so gentle but very protective of my girls when they were small.
She's a beautiful dog. I love the whole Shepard class.
She is very lovely Wonderful capture
Lovely dogs
stunning!!! banana back?? LOL seems 'common' in all popular breeds? 'changes' that is?? we used to have a West Highland white, she turned 15,5. as she was aging, one could hardly recognize fellow 'westies' anymore ;-) not funny though!! been secretary/adm. n more of the Dutch angora-rabbit- club, no breeders here, but respons. is enormous. 'advice' would often mean talking people out of 'breeding'. no one is waiting for- or will 'benefit' from animals to be born that aren't carefully bred, thus ruining the breed. apart from all health probs 1 could encounter -detail-.
What a beautiful sound looking dog she was too, and yes I agree that these days the poor German Shepherds are suffering due to some fancy fads of some breeders and then again bad judges who give top awards to the poor dogs with the weak hind quarters hugs and love xxxxxxxx
I too hate the look of the "American German Shepherd", as we tend to call those deformed, crippled looking dogs. I think that most of the GSDs that our police departments use are German, and don't have that deformed look the "banana back" gives them. Your gorgeous GSD is the way they should look. Sigh. What's been done to so many breeds in the name of "style" and "conformation" is criminal, it's caused so many health issues for them. I'm not sure I would even want another purebred dog.
Helen is a beautiful and healthy looking dog Barbara. I can see that she had strong hind legs and a level back!
