A GSD(or Malinois, Lab, Border Collie, Aussie Shepherd... ad nauseum), for example, wasn't and isn't meant to be at dog shows. They're meant to work. Period. I despise those breeders and show people because they ruin the breed.

my gf showed and finished her lab a few years ago, not far off the truth there. The reason she decided not to get another Lab puppy is because the dogs who were winning were FAT as fuck, so fat they can barely waddle. Ours is in fantastic shape despite being at the high end of the breed standard for weight (about 80 lbs) but she still loses events because she sticks out with all the other dogs because they are all closer to 95lbs!
She's got all her field training medals as well though, but most of the show folk don't bother.
