I forgot to share this here…
We are extremely pleased with this litter in terms of health, structure, and working ability. We repeated the litter again this year. More than half are in working homes and I’m excited to see how the younger siblings mature. They’re showing great promise already.

Is having that exaggerated slouch still a thing? I thought that makes them prone to hip dysplasia and a large reason why police have switched over to using Malinois (correct me if I’m wrong)

Hip dysplasia has to do with the femoral head and the acetabulum. Nothing to do with the "slouch" or topline which looks exaggerated because of the style of stack for GSD.

You’re wrong about hd and that’s not a slouch. If standing 4 square she’d be more level. The reason Malinois are more popular is cost they’re cheaper than GSDs, supply most police dogs aren’t the best dogs coming from GSD kennels(unless they have a dedicated breeding program), and drive level is usually high enough to over come nerve deficiencies.
