re: German Shepherd for sale/reputable breeders

I had a white GSD that was female and from a breeder. She wasn’t “show quality “ because she had 2 white toenails and some pink on her nose. She was sold at a discount with verbiage in the contract to have her spayed and not breed her. I had no problem with that and wanted to let you know that could be an option if you’re not looking to breed whatever dog you buy.
She was the smartest dog I’ve ever had. She was trained to kennel in the bathtub - GSDs shed ALOT. I could just wipe the hair out of the bathtub. I felt like she understood everything I said and not just basic commands. She was the first female I ever owned and it was an eye opening difference from a male. I found her very easy to house train and I felt that she was every bit as protective as a male. She weighed 90lbs but looked larger as she was long haired.
Just know that GSDs, especially from working bloodlines, require a ton of excersize and mental stimulation. I could take her for a run twice a day and she was still full of energy. Without those two things, they can be terribly destructive.
I have a Scott American Bulldog (male), and a half Amstaff half English Bulldog (female). I wish those bastards listened like her. I see the don’t shop/ adopt comments and I’ll tell you that you’re going to get what you pay for. Hips certified is a must as GSDs are prone to hip displasia.
All that being said, my female had a high prey drive but was the smartest dog I’ve ever owned.
My two cents. Hope it helps.

This is probably a dumb question. When I see side pics of GSD's their hips always seem to be lower than they should. Why do they stand like this? I'm used to Labs and their back is basically parallel to the ground. Here are some examples.
