He must have courage, fighting drive and hardness have to as companion, watch, protection, service - to be suitable and herding dog. Head The head is wedge-shaped, the body size according to (length about 40% of the height at withers), without plump or being overstretched, in the overall appearance of dry, excessively wide between the ears. The forehead is seen from the front and from the side only slightly arched and without or with a slightly indicated middle furrow. The ratio of skull to the facial region is 50% to 50%. The top of the head width corresponds roughly to the top of the head length. The cranial region (seen from above) on the tip of the nose to the ears evenly tapering with sloping, not sharply depicted stop sales in the wedge-shaped facial region (catch) part of the head. Upper and lower jaws are strong. The nose straight, a Einsattlung or bulge is undesirable. The lips are taut, tightly sealed and dark in color. Nose The nose must be black. teeth The teeth must be strong, healthy and complete (42 teeth according to the dentition formula). The German Shepherd Dog has a scissor bite, ie the incisors must interlock like scissors, whereby the incisors of the upper jaw, scissor-like cut on the lower incisors. On-, pre-, and back biting is wrong, as well as larger spaces between the teeth (gaps) are faulty. Incorrect, just as the teeth of the serrated teeth. The jaw bones must be strongly developed so that the teeth can be deeply embedded in the dental lamina. eyes The eyes are of medium size, almond shaped, somewhat slanting and not protruding. The color of the eyes should be as dark as possible. Bright, piercing eyes are undesirable because they affect the expression of the dog. ears The German Shepherd Dog has erect ears of medium size, that are carried erect and rectified (not sideways retracted), they taper to a point and put the shell forward. Overturned ears and hanging ears are faulty. In motion or at rest is applied to the rear carriage of ears are not faulty. Neck The neck is strong, well muscled and without loose skin at the throat (dewlap). The Zuwinkelung to the trunk (horizontal) is about 45%. bodies The upper line runs from the neck to the high, long withers and over the straight back to the slightly sloping croup without a visible break. The back is moderately long, firm, strong and well muscled. The loin is broad, short, strongly developed and well muscled. The croup should be long and slightly sloping (approx 23 ° to the horizontal) and proceed without interruption of the top line with tail set. chest The chest should be moderately broad, the lower chest as long and pronounced. Depth of chest should be about 45% to 48% of the height at the withers. The ribs should feature a moderate curvature, barrel-shaped chest is just as faulty as flat. tail The tail is not enough at least to the hock, however, about the middle of the back foot center out. She is hairy on the underside a little longer and is worn in gently drooping arc where she is raised and carried higher in the excitement and movement, but not beyond the horizontal. Surgical corrections are forbidden. limbs: Forehand The forelegs are straight viewed from all sides, absolutely parallel seen from the front. Shoulder blade and upper arm are of equal length and attached by means of powerful musculature fixed to the hull. The angulation of the shoulder blade and upper arm is in the ideal 90 °, but generally up to 110 °. The elbows must be neither turned inwards nor outwards in the standing or moving, and not just be depressed. The forearms are straight and stand parallel to each other, dry and firmly muscled, seen from all sides. The pastern has a length of about 1/3 of the lower arm, and has an angle of approximately 20 ° to 22 ° thereto. Both A slanted pastern (more than 22 °) as well as a steep pastern (less than 20 °) impairs the suitability for, particularly the stamina. Paws The paws are round, well closed and arched, the soles hard, but not brittle . The nails are strong and dark in color. Hindquarters The position of the hind legs is slightly backwards, whereby the hind legs are parallel when viewed from behind. Thigh and lower leg are of approximately equal length and form an angle of about 120 °, the legs are strong and well muscled. The hocks are strongly developed and firm, the rear pastern stands vertically under the hock. Gait The German Shepherd Dog is a trotter. The limbs must be coordinated in length and angulation to one another so that he move without significant change in the back line the hindquarters up to the trunk and can reach out just as far with the forequarters. Every tendency toward over angulation of the hindquarters reduces firmness and endurance and thus the fitness for use. With correct building conditions and angulations results in an expansive, flat on the ground walking gait, giving the impression of effortless forward movements. When a pushed forward head and slightly raised tail results in a smooth and quiet trot extending from the tips of the ears over the neck and back up to the tip of the tail gently curved and unbroken topline. Skin The skin is (loosely) fitting, but without wrinkles form. coat Proper hair for the German Shepherd Dog is a double coat with undercoat. The outer coat should be as dense, straight harsh and close fitting. At the head including the ear inside, on the front of the legs, on the paws and toes short, hairy neck a little longer and stronger. At the back of the legs the hair extends to Vorfußwurzelgelenk or the hock, at the back of the thighs it forms moderate trousers.

Unobtrusive, small white marks on chest and bright interior pages are permitted, but not desirable. The tip of the nose must be black in all colors. Missing mask, light to piercing eye color, as well as light to whitish markings on chest and inner sides. Pale nails and red tip of tail are to be assessed as lacking in pigmentation. The undercoat shows a light gray color. The color white is not permitted. testicles Male animals should have two apparently normal testicles fully located in scrotum. fault Any departure from the foregoing points should be considered a fault, which should be in exact proportion to its degree. severity error deviation from the above described breed characteristics which impair the usability. Ears Error: Laterally too low set ears, overturned ears, shield clamps position of the ears, ears not consolidated. Considerable pigment deficiencies. Severely impaired overall strength. Zahnfehler All deviations from a scissor bite and dental formula, if it is not negative errors (see the following) is. Disqualifying faults a) being weak, vicious and weak-nerved dogs. b) Dogs with documented "severe HD". c) Monorchiden and cryptorchid, as well as dogs with clearly uneven or twisted testicles d) Dogs with disfiguring ears or tail defects. e) Dogs with deformities f) Dogs with dental faults in the absence of: 1 x premolar 3 and another tooth, or one fang, or 1 premolar 4, or 1 molar 1 or Molar 2, or a total of 3 teeth and more. g) Dogs with jaw deficiencies: Overshot by 2 mm or more, undershot: biting throughout the incisor region. h) dogs over or under size of more than 1 cm. i) Albinism j) Hair color white (even with dark eyes and nails). k) long haired (long, soft, not tight-fitting outer coat with undercoat, flags on ears, legs, bushy pants and bushy tail with streaking down). l) long hair (long, soft top coat without undercoat, mostly parted in the middle of the back, flags on ears and legs and tail).
