Wish people were more mindful of this in real life. All these dogs with short snouts have terrible problems breathing when they get older (and many when they are young).

I will have GSD's from a working line for the rest of my life.

Totally agree re:short snout problems. I was shocked recently to see several pictures of short-nosed Rottweilers with what looks like a tendency to have noses that seem to be trending in pug-like direction.

I mean, I hadn't really been keeping up with the breed, but I am curious what the heck people are thinking . . .

OTOH, I may be done with working line shepherds for the rest of my life. But enjoy!
