German Pinscher Standard
The slopping shoulder blades are strongly muscled, yet flat and well laid back. They are well angled and slope forward to the point they join the upper arm. Such angulation permits the maximum forward extension of the forelegs without binding or effort.
The shoulders should smoothly transition from the neck to the back.
Forelegs- straight and well boned, perfectly vertical when viewed from all
sides, set moderately apart with elbows set close to the body. Dewclaws on the
forelegs may be removed.
Pasterns- firm and almost perpendicular to the ground.
Feet- short, round, compact with firm dark pads and dark nails. The toes well
closed and arched like cat feet.
Nails and pads which are not black should be penalized to the degree of their lack of pigment.
The foregoing description is that of the ideal
German Pinscher. Any deviation from this is to be penalized to the extent of the
deviation.
