For a considerable time, I have wanted to get a German Shepherd.
Few years back, I saw a telly program, in which RSPCA's Vet said if you get a German Shepherd, get one bred from working dogs, as the show breed standards have created a very unhealthy dog. I do recognise this, as a friend of mine has twice had to have his dogs put down.
I have, however, singularly failed in my task of finding such a dog.
Wondering now if I should get a Dobermann instead, though it seems these too, especially European bred, as opposed to US, are beset with health issues.
Any of you experienced with this breed?
