 The German Shepherds as a whole are no longer fit for police or military or 
security work. They fail to measure up due to the influence of the Show Ring 
Breeders! They are also deformed, IMHO, in the rear, due to The Show Ring 
Breeders! Belgian Shepherds (although smaller) are replacing German Shepherds 
in police work. It Did Not Take all that long either. All this change has 
come about in less than forty years.
