The German Shepherd (German: Deutscher Schäferhund, German pronunciation: ) is a breed of medium to large-sized working dog that originated in Germany. German Shepherds are longer than they are tall, with an ideal proportion of 10 to ​8 1⁄2. The AKC official breed standard does not set a standard weight range. An orthopedic vet remarked on footage of dogs in a show ring that they were 'not normal'. The Shiloh Shepherd is a variety of the German Shepherd bred in the United States, it was developed in the 1970s and 1980s to correct behavioural and conformational issues that have been bred into modern German Shepherds, it was bred for large size, length of their back, temperament and soundness of hips. It has been recognized by the American Rare Breed Association since 1990.
