Working dog breeders and show breeders breed for wildly different traits (trainability and longevity of life vs conformation to breed standards), and so get different dogs. Hip dysplasia is not the same issue in working GSD's as show ones because they weren't bred to have the…

My mom hates it too! No one else in the family does, though.

Will you provide access to academic journal articles for the Science Editorial Fellow, or do you expect the to provide their own?
