[@beryl8285]

Imho Mercedes should have won the whole show - what a beauty!

[@conniewolf7300]

Notice she's more "square" and less sloped than most of the show shepherds these days! FINALLY!!!!

[@TeamGlory133]

Way to go team Mercedes!! What a win, what a day, what a team!! I'll be cheering you guys on at BIS!!

[@canilserradacanastra5453]

[@diegofelipemendezmedina7347]

Espectacular 👏👏👏👏👏

[@dennisatakent]

Actually the German Shepard needs to be placed in the working group. Congratulations to Mercedes!

[@barbaracrain2975]

❤❤❤❤

[@Makado14]

Yeah boy! 1:02

[@sherryanimallover7506]

It's terrible how you hold your Shepherd toward the end . I know you love the dog, though. Congratulations on the win. ❤️🙏🇺🇸🕊🐕🕊🇺🇸🙏❤️

[@Micahmorriscousin]

Love to see it... almost as beautiful as my germy 😉

[@Micahmorriscousin]

@@justsaying9443 right on, have had 4 in my family over the years and luckily someone found her roaming the streets as a young dog and had to have her

[@williamvigneault1888]

Idk why more people aren’t competing with GSD’s… it was so obvious here. The Shepherd owner brought a tank to the fight and everyone else brought fly swatters….

[@maryannenizio5074]

I thought Mercedes was going to win Best In Show

[@dawn62]

😊

[@ninalucas8703]

Congrats to super adorable and champion Mercedes. But why GS have the hind legs so short lately???

[@Rogue66669]

Over breeding them for shows. This why it shouldn't of won, a working GS are supposed to have straight backs

[@TeamGlory133]

To have a better advantage at herding sheep than the working line does. Show line shepherds are bred for herding sheep much better than the working lines are

[@jordanwilkinson7368]

Fox.. Sports?

[@Cal0Pat]

What on earth is that gait?!

[@kamzalot3]

A gait developed for fence herding sheep all day 🤓

[@Memow-pk1ng]

That is correct gait for GSD, far reaching front, & smooth effortless hindquartwrs, suited to running all day. Th 3 point stack is bc farmers from way back when , noticed that's how stood comfortably overlooking livestock .

[@DanielVargas-vm8lm]

Meh. I wouldn’t say a great representation of the GSD

[@maggierado]

POST the AFGHAN HOUND BREED judging FOX! Come on, it's been 2 days now. BIS is done.

[@orcaalley2170]

German Shepard should have won. Always the littlest happy dogs win. Rigged.

[@msmccorm1]

Disgusting what they have done to these dogs with messed up back legs. Notice - non of the other breeds have back legs that look like skis. Even more disgusting that it is being rewarded at dog shows.

[@audreybennett4272]

If you read the breed standard this is how the German Shepherd is supposed to move so that it can serve its purpose as a herding dog. There are plenty of German Sheppards who cannot move. That dog was floating around the ring, and that is what it is supposed to do. If you don’t actually know the breed don’t comment.

[@marysmith8128]

@@audreybennett4272 Noticed what seems to be a wonderful correction on their backs also even in the GS line judging up. So nice to see. There was a reason no GS won for years before Rumor. It was and is a thing of beauty to see this stable of GS.

[@lynnbeale4921]

You are very incorrect with your statement! The rear angulation on all GSD's is suppose to be just like this dog. GSD's in movement are suppose to cover the most amount of ground with the least amount of effort and with correct shoulder layback, strong back and rear underdrive angulation they can accomplish this. Read the standard! This dog is a beautiful representative of our breed! For your info, it is now standard practice that all GSD's that are competing/breeding are also getting OFA Certified!

[@audreybennett4272]

@@marysmith8128 That GSD is beautiful. I was not surprised that she won the herding group, her movement looks completely effortless and she is a good representative of the breed. I can’t wait to watch the groups and Best in Show tonight! I’m rooting for Mercedes. 😊

[@Memow-pk1ng]

No other breed is 3p0int stacked, that gives more slope to back. More worry be about th brachy faced , bulldogs, Pekes, Pugs,& frenchies

[@nogames8982]

No police force is going to use a shepherd that looks like that one. The ones on the American show circuit will not hold up physically to any sort of real work. I wish they would breed them for soundness rather than what they consider looks. That sloped back in the formed hind end is not healthy. It’s actually pretty sad.

[@mantiskf]

Listening to American commentary (in many competitive endeavours), so often reading off scripts full of errors, is always worth the entertainment value. None more so than when in a room of people who've seen "Best in Show". "isn't it great to see all the different gaits...?"; yes, it is, and the qualities amongst them pretending they could still function in herding for a full day's work. Exaggerations of the quality of "professional handlers" as they make the same level of errors as owner handlers elsewhere in the world, also quite amusing. In most sports we say the best judge/ref is the one we don't notice; and then pulls out his awarded dogs with no regard to the place markers.

[@Rogue66669]

The Bearded Collie should of won this. German shepherd's are supposed to have straight backs not sloped

[@johnmurray6636]

Although beyond beautiful, I have ever Mets German shepherd who wasn’t frightening
