How to distinguish German Shepherd

How to distinguish the German Shepherd? The German Shepherd’s eyes are medium sized, almond shaped, slightly slanted and not prominent; the ears are slightly pointed, proportionate to the head and forward; the neck is strong and muscular, well defined and relatively long, proportionate to the head and without loose skin; the chest is deep and wide, not shallow; the horse has the highest shoulder rung position, sloping backwards and transitioning to a flat back. The German Shepherd’s neck is strong and muscular, well-defined and relatively long, in proportion to the head, and without loose skin. When the German Shepherd is concerned or excited, the head is raised and the neck is held high, otherwise, the typical posture is with the neck extended forward (supporting the head) rather than upward, bringing the head slightly above the shoulders, especially when exercising. Backline: The horse’s shoulder rung is positioned highest and tilts backward, transitioning to a flat back. The back is straight and very firm, not sunken or arched. The back is fairly short and gives the impression of being deep but not bulky in relation to the entire torso. Chest: Begins at the sternum, is full, and goes down between the legs. The chest is deep and wide, not shallow, giving enough space for the heart and lungs, protruding forward and, when viewed in profile, the sternum protrudes before the shoulder blades. The head of the German Shepherd is noble, with clean lines, sturdy and not thick, but, as a whole, not too slender and in harmony with the proportions of the body. The male’s head clearly shows masculinity, while the female’s head clearly shows femininity. The German Shepherd has a sharp, intelligent and calm expression. Eyes: Medium sized, almond shaped, slightly slanted in position and not protruding. The color is as dark as possible. Ears: Slightly pointed, proportionate to the head, forward, and erect when focused, with the ideal posture (ear posture) being that the center lines of the ears are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground when viewed from the front.
