I think the kennel clubs need to be more proactive when it comes to their breed standards. If the breed standard for GSDs is changed so that large sloping back was a fault for instance, or all titled dogs must be health tested yearly for diseases known to their breeds and their titles revolked and no litters allowed to be registered from those parents, etc. Then you may see some positive changes regarding the health of those shown and bred.
I think a lot more involvement by the CKC, AKC, etc is both warranted and necessary.
