I almost sometimes hate to show off my dogs....
We currently have 8 German Shepherds (GSD) and two puppies (up for sale in about 5 weeks - they are monsters).
Out our eight the Full black is the mother of most and in her prime (about 4-5 years ago she was ranked 2nd in the Nation of all German Sheps. Since then the son Johann reigns king as 1 in the nation since 2005.... I am not talking about running in circles but rally, obedience and schutzhund trials and events.
You should most definitely search and take a gander at any and all vids you want of SteinbaumGSD on youtube. That is my fathers name and he is the owner of the kennel. We train the local police on bite work. You have no idea how hard Johann, Stretch, and Conrad can hit your protected arm untill you have tried.
Here are a few favorite videos.
Even big dogs and balance on their hind legs.
