The 5 Different Types of German Shepherd
1) American Show Lines
German Shepherds were brought into the United States in the late 1800s, but instead of being used as working dogs, they were bred to be show dogs.
Over the years they started to look different to the working German Shepherd, for example their rear angulation is extreme.
This means that their bodies slant downwards from the head to their rear ends. They are also taller and longer than the original German Shepherds from Europe.
American Show Lines come in an assortment of colors; black and tan saddle, black, sable, bi-color and white. They tend to be lighter colored than the European lines. Their coats are also thicker and longer than working dogs.
2) West German Show Lines
These dogs are stockier than the American lines although they also have bodies which slant downwards from the head to the rump.
Their heads are larger than the American lines and their coats are more luxurious. They can come in a variety of colors.
The two most common are black and light tan and black and red. The coloration pattern is the same as American lines.
3) West German Working Lines
Max von Stephanitz is the person who developed the German Shepherd and set the standards for the breed.
The West German Working Lines are the dogs which most closely resemble his vision. There are in fact, five types of this dog, but they are all grouped together.
Each variation has its’ own color and coat type. In addition there are two subsets of this dog, the Dutch German Shepherd and the Belgian German Shepherd.
The West German Shepherd Working lines have backs which are more sloped than the East German Shepherd. In addition, they are not quite as dark as their East European cousins.
The most common color is red and black, but they also come in black and tan, sable, bi-color and occasionally black.
4) East German DDR Working Line
When the Berlin Wall was built there was no contact between East and West Germany which led to the East German Working Line being preserved.
They were bred to be guard dogs or to work for the police force or the military. They are intelligent and loyal dogs and have few temperament problems.
In comparison to their West German cousins they are less susceptible to health problems and few get hip dysplasia which is common in the West German line.
In East Germany there are even stricter breeding standards so if they have health problems like hip or elbow dysplasia they won’t be allowed to breed.
5) Czech Working Lines
Czech Working Lines were bred to be border patrol guards in communist Czechoslovakia after World War Two. They have immense drive and want to be challenged.
They are more agile than any of the other lines and are very driven in their purpose as guard dogs.
Czech Working Lines are strong and very agile. They look like a German Shepherd, but are smaller than any of the other lines.
Their coats are much darker as well and unlike show dogs that have a saddle coloration, these dogs usually are just one color, like grey, dark brown or black. They look more like wolves than any of the other lines.
These dogs have less health problems than any of the other lines and this goes for their behavior as well.
