Standards for shows vary widely in country and governing bodies. The most common disqualifying factors however include floppy ears that never stand up completely, also called the “friendly-tipped” dogs. This fault is caused by ear cartilage damage usually occurring in pups under 12 months, but is not genetic. Another disqualifying fault is when the tail stands vertically and exposes the anus. A German Shepherd is also disqualified when its muzzle is not predominantly black. In a lot of shows, white fur in German Shepherds is disqualified, but is admitted in some. ========================================= German Shepherds provides detailed information on German Shepherds, German Shepherd Breeders, German Shepherd Kennels, German Shepherd Puppies and more.
