I worked Dingo's grandson, Drago von Weyergarten for seven years as a police dog. Drago had 30 street bites with a 2.5% bite ratio (do the math on non-bite finds!). He recovered over $2 million in illegal drugs. He won two International Championships, five National/North American championships and who knows how many regional and local police dog Trials. I believe that Drago was one of the best police dogs in his time and it just sends chills down my spine to watch his grandfather in this vid.

[@mauvaishonte]

I owned on of his grandson's who not only had his wonderful movement but was also a great worker, had the best temperament I have ever had in fifteen dogs I have worked. Truly a once in a lifetime dog. Currently searching for a dog or bitch linebred to him.

[@allfiner]

Aww, do you have pictures or a video? I'd love to see. I've often found that dogs which embody what the breed is supposed to look like, tend to embody the temperaments they're supposed to have as well.

[@phyllisrocher]

I have to come back and watch this dog move a lot. Really beautiful.

As near to perfection that you will ever see!

took my breath away

[@PuppyRex95]

Marvellous movement

[@badbarefootchef]

Lovely!

[@AranyAgyar]

Thank you.

[@verdorbengsds1095]

Such a beauty

[@user-tf6or1lh1d]

i agree with the blond girl below , his progeny was great for temperament one of his best sons was dando nordheirdland

[@13gingerjo]

An amazing specimen of the day, wondering if any dog can match him now He was amazing at all speeds

[@phyllisrocher]

The American GSD is trash in the show ring now imho. The rears are egg beaters and their butts drag the ground.

[@lemmik76]

great movement. i love this fyling trot. regards sunnyAK

[@bidroid]

i'm amazed of how my dog looks very much like this one O_o

[@SirFeaksAlot]

This IS correct movement, but I wouldn't say that he's the BEST mover of all times.

[@sbybby]

He still is considered the best mover of all time, regardless.

[@americandingo6715]

Thos is by far better than what we see in the show ring currently but this would still not be conducive to long distance, stamina/endurance. The German shepherd is literally the only canine and breed bred purposefully with this amount of angulation.

[@m.h.k.magnusunicum6868]

a great dog.....look today.....

[@babycass7]

poetry in motion....

[@kimbopacquiao5026]

Creo que este perro debería de estar como el ideal de pastor alemán. Ya veo muchos con el torax demasiado amplio ni que decir la angulación de la espalda. Como desearía que vielvan este tipo de perros

[@reso100]

how can YOU tell ? LMAO

[@Rimfaxe96]

Why on earth did they start breeding German Shepherds with lower hip bones? It has nothing to do with the original one.

[@sjsisjsjks]

In pursuit of the long stride trotting gait seen here.

[@artiicom]

The hip bones aren't lower, but the croup does have more angulation. It helps the dogs cover more ground with the least amount of strides. More efficient when tending to sheep, which is this breeds original purpose. Older GSDs lacked this and bc of this, couldn't do their work as well as modern day dogs. They were bred for temperment rather than health and structure.

[@artiicom]

He wasn't the perfect mover, since he was very restricted in the rear, but he was otherwise a nice dog, and a nice mover.

[@hanytheo457]

how is this balanced beautiful gait restricted? do u want more angles like todays gsd?

[@Rimfaxe96]

I live in Germany so I see plenty of them, especially those bought by farmers and meant to guard their properties. But when I visit dog schools or shows, they can't be seen anywhere. Instead these misformed products of a wrong beauty-image walk across the floor, or rather they follow their owners while their rear ends try to keep their balance with a frog-like motion...

[@lynettewatson5912]

To be sure - harmony. But cannot think what utilitarian purpose such a space requiring trot in a straight line would be to man. They have not invented GSD trotting races yet. Lovely technical video.

[@reso100]

Lynette Watson Clueless... Sorry but had to say

[@darlenemolina3783]

+Lynette Watson The GSD was originally bred for herding and as each breed has its own unique way of herding livestock, so does the GSD. They are meant to be a moving fence line and able to gait all day long encircling the herd and keeping them in one general area. This means they need to have the type of movement that produces the greatest amount of space covered with the least amount of effort exerted. It's not about speed. It's about endurance.

[@allfiner]

Lynette, GSDs were bred to be trotting dogs. Not runners or walkers, trotters. Their length allows them to cover a large distance with each step with little effort, and trotting allowed them to move herds over long distances, or constantly corral livestock in a defined area without tiring. That's their utilitarian purpose and that's what they were bred, created and designed to do. Before posting a comment, think. Try to reason things out. It's muscular dog and it trots...ask yourself why those traits would be intentionally bred into a herding dog required to move livestock ALL DAY LONG. If critical thinking isn't your thing, Google it, or go to the breed websites and read about why this animal does what it does. It's okay not to know something. It's not okay to bask in your ignorance than make uninformed comments online just because you can.

[@muzaregne2209]

@@allfiner this is not an efficient, economic trot though. your reasoning is fine but the end result should not look like this. See Dr Fischer's work.

[@artiicom]

The GSD was bred for herding, more specifically tending (aka acting as a living fence, keeping stock in boundaries rather than gathering or moving them), and the flying trot as well as rear angulation was bred in to help the dogs cover the most amount of ground with the least amount of strides possible, saving energy and making for more efficient herding.

[@verdorbengsds1095]

If you guys r gonna be rude about show line GSDs why r u watching videos about show line GSDs

[@bryanhuggins1299]

Because we care about the Breed!

[@artiicom]

@@bryanhuggins1299 show line GSDs are a great example of the breed and are bred for the ORIGINAL PURPOSE of this breed. Herding. GSDs we're not meant to be intense guard dogs like the doberman.

[@domainofthesun4400]

This extremely specialized gait clearly lacks power. Strictly for show.

[@pazrexthegermanshepherd4745]

this dog wasn't just a show dog,and this gait didn't lack power...while many of today's German dog's do lack power. This dog was working dog and was one of the best German Shepherds in the German Show bloodlines. If only todays dogs would've retained his traits they wouldn't be looking the way they look now.(not that its bad but because it could help as far as functionality goes)

[@191james191]

lol. you have absolutely no idea.

[@allfiner]

Susan A. you're embarrassing yourself. This dog worked. Yet another moron heard from. Funny how it's the people who know the least who judge the most.

[@artiicom]

He wasn't JUST a show dog. He was a very good working dog as well. And he was very powerful. This slow motion vid low key did him dirty. This gait is just for show either. It's for herding, which is the GSDs original purpose. It allows the dogs to cover the maximum amount of ground with the least amount of strides. It preserves energy and stamina and gives better control over the sheep.

[@buffyjosmom]

That ain't poetry in motion its a roach backed, low slung hipped, hock walking, abomination. Shame on GSD Show breeders for destroying this beautiful breed. Thank God Von Stephanitz can't see them now to see what you've done to them, he'd be ticked.

[@K9JusticeTrue]

***** Do you realize that this is a German dog, not American?? That's actually pretty spectacular movement lol. This is how they should move, not the VA dogs we have now.

[@darlenemolina3783]

+Buffyjosmom You sound like a parrot ignorantly spewing words they do not understand but merely mimic. You couldn't be more clueless if you tried. I love it when people like you who know nothing but believe they are "experts" open their mouths and identify themselves as the misinformed blowhards that they are. Your vitriol may impress those who know even less than you, but it does nothing but reveal how uneducated about this breed you are to those who actually do have the knowledge you pretend to possess.

[@K9JusticeTrue]

I mean I agree on American line show breeders diverting from the original intent of the GSD...but this dog is not that lol.

[@buffyjosmom]

Darlene Molina I know GSDs, they are my favorite breed besides Dachshunds. I know what a GSD is supposed to look like thanks. Its because of GSD show idiots ruining the breed that I show doxies instead. I won't be a part of aiding in the destruction of the breed I love. Why is it everyone but GSD breeders can see it? You guys are like Emporer NERO, people are telling you you are killing the breed like they told Nero he was killing Rome but you won't listen like he didn't.

[@K9JusticeTrue]

+Buffyjosmom Helloooo? Are you reading?? THIS IS NOT AN AMERICAN SHOW LINE DOG!!! I loathe show lines. You seem to not be able to see that this is NOT a show line GSD. THIS is what they SHOULD move like! Didn't you see...he's SV, SchH III, and the SG rated him the best. That's NOT the US!!! The working line breeders see this video as a GREAT example of movement.

[@iczaplicka]

like paralised. And without muscles.

[@artiicom]

This dog isn't paralyzed and he has amazing muscles are you blind.

[@iczaplicka]

@@artiicom Looks like paralysed. And where do you see muscles?
