Large male with very good bone structure, good proportions, and with a wonderful type. He has great pigmentation and has a perfect German Shepherd Dog head in my opinion. This morning the temperature was cooler. Now it is hot and perhaps he is a little bit too heavy and could be a little bit more dry. But you could see during the group motion he showed himself very well. He has good proportions, very good top line with a very good lay of croup which is slightly steep, perfect angulation in front and back. Going away he is slightly narrow. Very good movement and I think he is the real winner today. You can see what happened to the second place dog today, who got bit accidentally. Only this dog could be the winner.

This is a little difficult, because both dogs are German Shepherds, but very different type. This dog is above medium size, medium powerful, with a good head. A little more stretched than the first place dog. German Shepherds have to be a little bit stretched. Perfect top line with a very good lay of croup, good angulation in front, very good angulation in rear. For his age normal chest development. Correct coming and going. In the beginning shows good movement and very good drive and a fore-reaching gait, but later there are some problems. You saw he produced a good progeny group. I think next time he would get another chance.

Large male, good proportions and also a very nice type. Very good head, high in the wither with a good top line. The croup should be a little bit longer, a little bit steep. Very good angulation in front and back. Good chest development. A little narrow going away, correct coming back. Shows wonderful movement and also ha a great progeny group.

Very good type, medium size, good bones and a very good head and expression. Good pigmentation, a little bit stretched. Good wither, good top line, good angulation front and back. Wonderful coat, not that short. Correct coming and going. Shows good movement with good rear drive and a good fore-reaching gait.

This dog started in third place, but you can see that today he is not shown in the best coat condition. Very correct dog, very dry and firm, good head and expression. Good top line with a good lay of croup, perhaps a little bit steep. Well angulated in front, very well angulated in rear. Today, possibly because of his coat condition, in his under line does not look so good. This was a previous winner and I like this male.

This dog with a little bit more temperament also has the chance to receive a VA rating, but he needs to be trained a little bit more for the next time. Correct dog, good proportions, good type and proportions. Looks very good standing, very good angulation front and back, good chest development, correct front. In my opinion, also a very nice dog but he needs a little more training. This is a good dog for breeding.

Very large, medium powerful, very dry and firm, good type, high wither, very good top line. The croup can be a little bit longer, the lay is okay. The upper arm must be better angulated, good angulation in back. Good chest development, normal front, goes a little bit narrow. Drive could be more powerful, but also a nice dog for breeding.

Very masculine dog with a very good head and expression. A little long bodied. His coat could be a little bit longer, nice top line with good lay of croup. Very well angulated in front and back, good chest development, correct front. Shows very good movement with good drive and fore-reaching gait, but in the back he could be a little bit firmer.

Large with a very good type, good head and good expression. Good wither and good top line, a good lay of croup, perhaps a little bit steep. Very good angulation in front and back. Good chest development. In the front he sometimes stands a little bit "East-West" and the elbows could be a little bit firmer. Shows good movement, good drive with a good free fore-reaching gait.

Shown in perfect condition today. Large, medium powerful, very good proportions. Good head but could have a little bit more mask. High in the withers, good top line and good lay of croup, could be a little bit longer. Very well angulated in front and back, good chest development, correct front. Shows good movement and yesterday a dog with one of the best bite work.

Most of you know this dog. He is a little bit older, but for this temperature, today also in good condition. Over medium sized, medium powerful, good proportions. Good head and expression. High in the withers, good top line. The croup should be a little bit longer with a lightly curly coat, very good angulation in front and back, good chest development. For his age, shows very good movement.

Large, medium strong, good head. High in the wither, good top line. Croup could be a little bit longer, good angulation in front, very good angulation in the rear. Normal chest development, correct front. Going away the hocks must be a little bit firmer.

Large, good proportions. Good expression. High in the wither, good top line. Croup should be a little bit longer and is a little bit steep. Upper arm should be longer. Good angulation in back, normal chest development. Correct front. Shows good movement with a good drive and firmness.

Good type, large, medium powerful. Good head and expression. Normal wither. Sometimes the back is a little bit roached. Croup is a little bit steep, angulations are okay. Very good chest development. The problem is that he stands "East-West". Elbows and hocks must be a little bit firmer, but he looks very good from the side.

Good type, good bones, good head, but for a male dog he must have a little bit more pigmentation. Good proportions with a good top line. Good croup, good wither. Upper arm must be better angulated. Very good angulation in rear with good muscle. Good chest development with a correct front. he also shows good movement with a good drive, but the fore-reaching gait must be a little bit more free.

Good size, medium powerful, normal head, good expression. High in the wither, good top line. Upper arm must be a little bit better angulated. Very good angulation in the back. Normal chest development. Sometimes he stands a little bit "East-West". Shows good movement from the side with good temperament and good drive. This dog is able to develop further in the future.

Good size, over medium size, medium strong bones. Good head but should have a little bit more mask. Good wither, good top line with a good lay of croup but could be a little bit longer. Upper arm must be a little bit longer but has very nice angulation in the back. Good chest development, correct front. Shows good movement with a good drive but the fore-reaching gait must be a little bit more free.

Good type, but had some problems in the condition today. He is a little bit too heavy. He looks good standing, normal head, normal wither. Good top line with a good lay of croup, a little bit steep. Upper arm must be a little bit longer, but well angulated. Very good chest development, perhaps a little bit too much. Correct front. Going away he falls down and movement should be better during group gaiting.

This dog is capable of receiving the V rating but he is very heavy. He is a large dog, too much weight. Good proportions, normal wither. Good top line, the croup should be longer. Well angulated in front and back. Chest development is a little bit too much, but that is also a question of the weight of this dog. Correct front. Shows good movement but not firm enough, especially in the back. This dog needs to be trained more and not be so heavy.

Good size, a little bot long bodied, with a normal head, but should have better pigmentation. The wither is too flat, good top line. The croup is not too bad, upper arm must be a little bit longer. Good angulations in the back. Good chest development. He stands a little bit "East-West". The pastern must be firmer. Goes away slightly narrow. Main fault of this dog is the wither which is the reason he falls down during movement. Great sportsmanship for handling your dog.

A large and powerful bitch, very substantial, outstanding expression, very good proportions, high wither, firm, very good croup. Outstanding angulation, with a very beautiful under line. Absolutely correct coming and going, correct viewed from the front and shows a very good side gait on leash as well as off leash.

A very expressive bitch, very good pigmentation, good proportions. Very hard and dry with very good angulation. Correct coming and going. In the process of the group gaiting she was able to work herself up and show that she clearly deserves this placing.

Large and powerful, hard and dry bitch. Very expressive, correct body proportions, high wither, firm in the back. Small limitation in the croup, should not be as steep. Outstanding front and rear angulation. Absolutely correct coming and going, correct when viewed from the front. She also shows a good side gait. During off leash gaiting she should show a little bit more rear drive.

Large, powerful, very hard and dry. She could have a little bit more overall pigmentation. Very powerful head, good wither, firm back. Croup is a bit steep. Very well angulated front and rear, correct from the front. The pasterns could be a bit firmer. Correct coming and going. Very dynamic side gait.

Absolutely medium size, medium powerful. Very well pigmented, hard and dry, good top and under line, correct angulation in the rear. Upper arm is long enough but needs to be better angulated and for that reason she doesn't have quite enough front reach. Overall she shows a dynamic side gait with a lot of energy.

Above medium size, very long bodied, hard and dry, very expressive. Limitation is in the croup which needs to be longer, and the upper arm needs to be more angulated. Very good side gait with powerful rear drive. Needs a more free front reach.

Large, medium powerful, hard and dry. Very good top line and a very good under line. Very strongly angulated in the rear and normal angulation in front. Limitations are in coming and going. Tight going away, toes out coming back. Very good side gait with a lot of energy.

Medium size, medium powerful, very well pigmented, hard and dry. Very pronounced rear angulation. Upper arm could be a bit longer and better angulated. She is not correct going away. Very good side gait with a lot of energy.

Large and powerful, hard and dry, good expression. High withers, firm back. The croup is slightly short and steep. Normal front angulation. Correct rear angulation, correct coming and going. Would like to see a little more dynamic and power in the side gait.

Powerful, very long bodied, very hard and dry. Limitation is in the croup and the front angulation. Correct rear angulation. Upper arm could be better angulated. Correct going away, comes back tight and the elbows are loose. Very good side gait with a powerful rear drive, but needs to reach out more freely in front.

Above medium size, medium powerful, hard and dry. Limitation in the front angulation. Upper arm is too steep. Correct coming and going, very dynamic side gait.

Large and powerful with a rather unusual pigmentation for a German Shepherd. Good top and under line. Overall very well angulated, normal side gait.

Large medium powerful bitch. Could use a bit more pigmentation. Very nice top line and a nice under line. Correctly angulated in the rear, normal angulation in the front. Correct coming and going. We would like to see her move a little bit more freely overall.

We have to point out that this bitch won the Universal Siegerin title - a very impressive title that very few dogs can aspire to reach. Large and very powerful with beautiful bone structure. Very long bodied. She looks very nice but can't continue that in the movement. She must be firmer overall and is shown here today a little bit heavy. An overall very nice bitch.

This bitch is also too heavy. Very nice lines, very well angulated in the rear. Normal angulation in the front. Pasterns should be firmer and she tends to stand a little bit "French". Main limitation is the weight and she is not firm enough.

Above medium size, hard and dry. She has a good wither and a firm back. Slightly short croup. Her limitations are in coming and going, too tight going away and the elbows are too loose when coming back. Normal side gait.

Six years of age, four litters. A bitch that is in outstanding condition. Still very hard and dry and presents a very beautiful picture.

The first and second place dogs are nearly from the same quality also from the same type. A masculine dog with a very good head and expression, good top line, full coat, a little bit steep croup. Very well angulated in front and back, good chest development, correct front. The pastern must be a little bit firmer. He showed very good movement with a good drive and a good fore-reaching gait and the reason I changed the placement was the masculine head of this male. his head is more masculine than the second place dog, who during movement shows a better top line.

Very good proportions, very dry and firm, very good top line with a high wither. Good croup, good angulation in front, very good angulation in the rear. Normal chest development, correct coming and going. Showed good movement with very good drive.

Good proportions, perhaps a little bit short. Very good masculine head, high wither, croup should be a little big longer, as well as the upper arm. Very good rear angulation, perhaps the under chest could be a little bit longer. Correct coming and going. Good movement with a very good drive.

Good proportions, perhaps a little bit short, very good masculine head, high wither. Croup should be a little bit longer, as well as the upper arm. Very good rear angulation, perhaps the under chest could be a little bit longer. Correct coming and going. Good movement with a very good drive.

Very elegant. For a dog at this age he could have a little better developed head compared to the other dogs in front of him. Very good top line with a good lay of croup. Very good angulation in front and back. Correct front, good chest development. The hocks are a little bit loose and he goes a little bit narrow. The tail is not 100% correct, but also a very good dog.

Not in the best coat condition. Standing he looks very good with perfect top line. Very good head, high in the wither, very , very good croup. Well angulated in the front, very well at the border in the back. Good chest development, however, he shows some problems in the elbows and hocks. They are a little bit loose, which is the reason why he does move so well, especially when he goes faster, but from the side a very good dog.

Over medium size, medium strong, good type. A little bit stretched, good expression, normal in the wither. Could be a little bit higher, a good lay of croup, good angulation front and back. Good chest development, correct coming. Goes a little bit narrow. Elbows must be firmer in the future. Shows good movement.

Brother of the fourth dog in this class. Perhaps a little bit short, but very dry and firm. Good head, high wither, a little knick behind it. Croup and upper arm must be a little longer. Good angulation in the back with good muscles. Shows good movement with a good drive. Not in the optimal coat condition and therefore the under chest looks a little short.

Looks very good from the side, good proportions, good head and expression. Dry and firm, good wither, croup is slightly short. Good angulations, very good chest development. In the front line he must be more correct in the elbows. They are a little bit loose. Shows good movement with a good drive, but the problem is the elbows and the croup, however, a good masculine dog.

Very good type, and if he was a little bit lighter this dog would be firmer, especially in the back and then he could reach a better placement in this class. A masculine dog, withers could be a little bit higher, good top line, good angulations. Very good chest development, correct front, but you can see he is too heavy.

Not in the best coat condition, dry and firm, normal head, high in the wither. The croup is level and too short. Upper arm is also too short, good angulation in rear, normal chest development. Perhaps the underline can be a little longer. Correct front. Shows good movement with a good drive.

Big dog, medium strong bones. A little bit stretched, not dry and firm enough. The coat is a little short. Good head and expression, normal wither, good top line. Croup is a little bit steep, good angulations but should have more muscle in the back. Good chest development. Today the elbows and the back are a little bit loose.

A large dog, medium powerful, very dry and firm, good proportions, normal head, high in the wither with good lay of the croup. The upper arm should be a little bit more angulated, very good angulation in the back, normal chest development, correct front, correct coming and going. He shows a very good movement with a good rear drive, the wither is always the highest point.

This dog is not shown in his best coat condition at the moment. Very good type, a little bit stretched, a good expression, good top line, good length and lay of croup, very good angulations, especially in the rear. He has a normal chest development, normal front. Front is not 100% correct. He shows very good movement, perhaps the best movement in this class, with very good drive and very free fore-reaching gait but the elbows are a little loose, which is the reason why this dog is in second place.

This dog had something happen to his ear, but in my opinion it is okay. If you look at the other ear, it is perfectly normal. This dog is also very dry and firm, good proportions, good head, normal in the wither. He roached the back a little bit, a good croup. The upper arm should be a little longer. Very good angulation in the rear with good muscles, good chest development, correct front coming and going. He shows also a good movement with a good drive. Also while he is moving he roached his back which is the reason why he lost his first place from the beginning.

Large, medium powerful, good proportions, normal head, eyes could be a little bit darker. High in the wither, very good top line with a good lay of croup, upper arm should be a little more angulated. Very good rear angulation, normal chest development, correct front, goes slightly narrow in the hocks. Shows good movement with a good rear drive.

Should have a little more type, very dry and firm, very good proportions, good head, good top line with a good lay of croup. Upper arm should be more angulated, very good rear angulation. The underline could perhaps be a little longer, correct front. Shows good movement with a good drive.

Over medium size, medium powerful, little stretched. Today not firm and dry enough. Very good type with a good head and expression, normal wither, good top line with good lay of croup. Good angulations, good chest development. Stands a little "East-West", elbows are not firm enough. The dog overall is not dry and firm enough. Shows good drive.

Also a good type, good proportions. Large dog, medium powerful, good pigmentation, good head, good wither. The croup should be longer as well as the upper arm. Good angulation in the rear, normal chest development. Also stands a little "East-West". The front is not 100%. Shows normal movement with good drive.

Large, medium powerful. Today a little bit heavy, which makes the back not firm enough, otherwise, he could have placed one or two places higher. He has a good head, slightly flat wither, normal top line. Croup is a little steep, the upper arm must be longer, good rear angulation. For his age a little too much chest development. Correct front, good movement, but the back is not firm enough.

I like the type of this dog. Dry and firm, good proportions, very good head and good pigmentation. He looks good standing, but he does not show that same picture during movement. Good wither, good top line, good lay of croup but should be a little longer. Upper arm could be slightly longer, good rear angulation, normal chest development, correct front coming and going, but falls during movement.

This dog is a little stretched, the back is not firm enough. Should be more masculine. A little flat in the wither, the croup is slightly steep, normal angulation, normal chest development. He stands slightly "East-West", elbows are not firm enough. Shows good side gait with a good drive.

An expressive and typey bitch. She has correct body proportions, a very good head. Her topline and underline are ideal. She is very well angulated, correct coming and going and shows an outstanding side gait.

Large, dry and firm bitch. Very good wither, firm back. Croup could be a bit longer. She is also very well angulated, correct coming and going, but today she did not quite show the same conditioning as the winning bitch.

Above medium size, very well pigmented, very hard and dry, very alert, carries very nice lines. Limitations are the upper arm, which could be angulated just a bit more, but because the shoulder is positioned properly, she shows good enough front reach. Overall she is very energetic and shows a very good side gait.

Large, medium powerful, hard and dry. Small limitation in the croup. Should be a little longer, very well angulated front and rear, pastern could be a bit firmer. A bitch whose side gait equals that of the very front.

Also a large, hard and dry bitch, very well angulated in the rear. Upper arm could be angled a bit more. The front reach could be freer, but this is also a bitch that belongs in the top part of the class

Medium size bitch, mid-powerful, from time to time she showed herself a bit uncertain, but she was tested on a number of times and passed and I think in this particular case it is simply a matter of inexperience. She is dry and firm, very well built, a little obtrusive in the slightly round eye, the way it is set in the mask. Very good side gait, she shows powerful rear drive with free front reach.

Large, medium powerful female. Towards the end of the group movement her back was prone to show signs of strain, otherwise, a very well built bitch. The upper arm could be slightly more angulated. She needs to be a little firmer in the elbows. Very good side gait. She really showed herself well today.

A more typey female, and she looks like a very typical brood bitch. Well built, very good body proportions. The problem with this female is she gives the impression of being very inexperienced and untrained and she has the tendency to pace, but I think with appropriate training and conditioning she will be a bitch with a future.

Medium powerful, long-bodied bitch, very good pigment. She is not completely firm, croup could be a bit longer. She is well angulated in the front, very well angulated in the rear, elbows are not completely firm.

Hard and dry bitch. Could have a little more substance, very alert, very good gait. She has powerful rear drive, but because of the angulation, she needs to have a freer front reach.

Large, powerful bitch. Ears are set a little bit broad, which somewhat disturbs the general expression. The dog needs to be a little drier and firmer, very good angulation, bus she needs to show a little more rear drive, which looks to be more of a training problem.

A bitch whose impression appears to be a little sturdy. She is dry and firm, needs better front angulation. The elbows are not completely firm. In general, she needs a more powerful gait.

Medium size, powerful, dry and firm. Limitations in the front angulation, not completely straight from the front, and the pastern needs to be firmer. Very good side gait.

A bitch who looked very good in the stance, but unfortunately she could not translate that into the movement. Her problem zone is the front, she is not straight in the front and the elbows are not completely firm.

She is also a large, powerful and dry bitch. Similar to her predecessor she has problems in the front. In the ring this bitch shows two sides, a good one and a not so good one. But I think with correct training and conditioning she will do well and also make a good brood bitch.

A bitch that needs to become harder and drier overall. She is not completely correct in the front. She has a normal side gait.

A bitch that the longer the group movement goes on, the more her back roaches and because of this she became limited in her side gait.

This dog is shown in too heavy of a condition, and the dog is overall then too loose in the back and the elbows and in the hocks. But with proper training and conditioning, this bitch can eventually move into the next higher rating of SG.

This female is the opposite, she needs more substance and should be more powerful. She is hard and dry, short croup, short and steep upper arm. For this reason the side gait is limited.
