I’d say there’s three sectors of the breed. Show lines are divided between American/Canadian show dogs, and European show dogs. They’ve been divided for probably about half a century. As well, the European show dogs are required the same health tests as the working lines over there. In America, the OFA database has shown the hip dysplasia rate decrease greatly over the past 30 years.
I am in the UK and i would still go for a working line GSD . While the European show line GSD is not as exaggerated as the American show line GSD , the European show line still have exaggerated over angulation compared to the working lines.
I'm so glad that you input the difference between show and working and how their breeders differ.. people need know and hope the show breeders will do better by the breed. It's one of my top breed love them so
Our girl is Dutch X German, smart, sweet, obedient, and good with our kids. She can turn on the aggression when appropriate as well. Best dog I've ever had.
@@darkvoyagerrr8256 show lines look deformed. Not everybody likes the solid red and tan either. I much prefer the look of working line gsd's- and no, they absolutely do not look mixed if you actually know what a German shepherd is supposed to look like. Show line gsd's are nothing like what the breed is supposed to be, temperament or look-wise
@@katk7505 Mine is a working GSD - because I work him. Great hip score and everything a GSD is supposed to be. The personality between the so-called working and show lines is exactly the same. Here is mine (the black and tan one); th-cam.com/video/0mGasdNJ_2Q/w-d-xo.html
I think it will be better if you put the difference bet american showline vs Western Germany showline. Also the difference between Western Germany,Eastern Germany and Czech gsd working line.
I have a GSD and a GSD mix, both rescues. The one thing I have learned about sharing my home with my doggos, you have to prepared to be a strong leader, because Shepherds will test you constantly. They are extremely intelligent and will figure out a way to get what they want if you let them. They are one fantastic and amazing breed! :)
Pollywog Plans they're not "testing you" they're just dogs. they will do what's fun and profitable to them (if not provided w an alternative). it's got nothing to do w the handler
I always feel so bad when I see a show line German shepherd, I feel like all of them are hurting while walking 😔😔 I really hope that the back will become less sloped soon
@@darkvoyagerrr8256 - sorry but instead of just saying that explain why. Because that’s what I’ve heard, the sloped back is just because it looks nicer. I’m open to changing how I think about it I really am but you have to explain it first.
When you say show line I assume you’re talking about America showline. They are NOT the same as West German show line. West German show lines are world class with excellent health, working ability and beauty. The most popular type in the world. Please interview a WGSL breeder with German import dogs. There are several in California. This review is very general considering there are several types of GSDs. Thanks.
Completely agreeing with you. Problem is Americans wan big dogs, so they chose to bring the biggest GSDs from Germany and started breeding in a way so that they bcome bigger and have a better angle slop (sloping back). Pure Bred WG GSDs working line are medium sized and have a less slope back.
My fav! I have had many dogs over my life and never fell in love so hard as i have since getting my Germie !! She is alot of work but the love i get from her is worth it and i got a Jack Russell Terrier to keep he busy when im at work!
Some imp points - Avoid getting a working line like West German GSD working line as a first time pet owner, as they have super prey drives and they have very high confidence, and would need proper discipline and socialization otherwise can get dangerous. Most importantly, if you are willing to get a show line GSD, plz get a straight back and NOT sloping back, as they are bred just for their big size, coat and slanting back which result in hip-displecia and is very painful for the dog. Also, don expect your showline GSD to guard you like a protection dog, however, they are better for a first time owner as they have average to mild temperament. P.s i have a West German GSD working line, and he is a darling.
@@darkvoyagerrr8256 its not simply HD its the over angulation of the back , croup , stifles and pasturns so as to get an ever more exaggerated " stack "show stance.
@@darkvoyagerrr8256 I know about HD. But the show line adds on more than potential HD to the issue here. Those hind legs are NOT what nature intended for a working dog like a gsd
@@endor8witch Totally agree that show lines hurt the gsd breed. Just wanted to point out that nature didn't intend for anything when it comes to domesticated dogs, it is all human work.
Would definitely plan on owning a working line GSD after college so I have more time for it. Actually Zeke lol Could you make a Top 10 list of Dog breeds that would be a good fit for college students/ Young adults
yes i love german shepherd you can check my nine german shepherd look for My german shepherd never waste food just type that you can see my german shepherd
The best dogs that I have ever had, have been German Shepherd and Collie cross or German Shepherd and Australian Shepherd cross. Those have been my most perfect dogs. Loyal, easy to train, protective, extremely intelligent and lived a long time. Very healthy. Good looking too.
I live in Germany and we had a black working line one. Great guy and lived 15 years but hell he had energy! Now we have a Canarioxpitbull and he is soo low in his energylevel in comparison to our gsd. Its like Gsd 100 points and him 35 points. If you want one, please work a lot with them. They can do anything 😊 then they will be happy ❤
I absolutely love this breed. I had one when I was thirteen. I remember police officers, while patrolling, would stop and ask me if I wanted to sell him. Of course I would always say "no!" Anyhow he was so precious. Today, I have a six year old Frenchie, lol!
I have a German Shepherd and she’s wonderful. She’s sweet and loving. The only thing is that she’s aggressive towards cars that speed by when I walk her which is annoying but other than that she’s the smartest dog I ever had.
@@robinastips6986 One could desensitize a puppy by exposing them to all kinds of sounds/situations when they're a little puppy. Usually if the puppy has seen cars enough when they're 6 to 12 weeks this rarely happens.
I certainly believe people are more opinionated and self-appointed experts of this breed than any other. No other breed comes close to having as many know-it-alls as this one does. Having said that, you did a nice job on this video and if you want a dog that will win your heart this is the breed for you.
There are some really good show line german shepherd lines with really good health and working line temperament, if you find the right breeder. I think there's a lot of 'hate' against these show lines because some people messed it up, but that doesn't mean that every show line is unhealthy!
I think that show line GSD should be tested for everything. It's when you get a backyard breeder dog or from an unethical breeder. However, these days, reputable breeders will test test test. It's not really fair to clump 'show lines' with backyard breeders. Or? Find a dog that has BOTH. Show lines and working lines. Working lines can have so much drive that they aren't going to be proper for a normal household with children or your typical owner. And make sure those working lines are being tested too. Just because it's working lines doesn't exclude them from the need for those tests.
Most versatile dog breed. I wish more people knew what the working line German Shepherd was. I pray to God that the show lines will stop breeding for over angulation in their dogs
Do your homework on the German (European) show lines. Amazing looking dogs, great qualities - all champions have IPO titles. American show lines look silly...
Kamen Dimitrov I have a WGSL and he is none of the things Zeke said about show lines. His parents were health tested, competed in IPO (his sire having an IPO3), and were not bread for the “sloped back” everyone cringes about in SL. He is from the Netherlands, does sport work with me, tracks like a maniac, has incredible drive with a comparable off-switch, and DOES NOT have any structural issues, nor does he have a sloped back. I took him to a tracking seminar where he did better than the working lines there. I wish people would understand that there are bad working line breeders, too. The looks I get when I tell someone my dog is a show line are awful.... until I bring him out and he does better or just as good as the working lines.
@@rachel_daniels That's so great! I hate the prejudice against Show lines, just because some people in america f'd it up. I also found a great breeder in Belgium who has show line gsd's and I will be doing IPO with the dog.
@Nalesh Hewavithana no, they have sloped backs. Show lines more so than the working ones. There is not much correlation between "slope" and health (not including US and UK abominations). Both show and working lines suffer from dysplasia etc. If bred correctly and with luck - live the same.
Ugh! I hate what show people have done to this breed! I'll take a GSD over a maligator any day. Too many end up in shelters due to the lack of knowledge, socialization, training, and mental stimulation by their owners. Best breed in the world! ❤❤❤
I have a gorgeous, very intelligent, driven, extremely affectionate 5mth old bi color gsd named Opal and i wouldnt trade her or my Boston for the world.
That’s odd because show lines are generally bred to be bigger. Working line are medium sized most of the time. I do have a very large East German working line male which they seem to be the largest of the working lines and a Czech female that is pretty small for a shepherd. Used to have show lines and they were all as big or a bit bigger than my male I have now
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me- 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father-and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. JOHN CHAPTER 10
Kai Alive show lines usually come in tan/red and black while working dogs are tan black, sable, all black, bicolor and gray, working lines are a little bit more active and more agresive while show lines are calm and are friendly with kids and also aggressive
You can tell by looking at their dogs, and it should be obvious if you're getting your dog from a reputable breeder. Most reputable breeders have a website, or Facebook page, and if you look around on there it should be obvious. If they're showing their dogs for conformation, they're show breeders. If their dogs are in protection sports, or agility, or herding etc, they're probably working bred gsd's. If you can't tell just by looking at their dogs you might wanna do more research though, lol.
Fully agree with you had GSD showline for years and they do all the working dog routines as its nature was to work before it was a show dog... a real GSD dog show is much different to work is shown in this video
So basically I'm going to comment this video to give my opinion on show line German shepherds. Yes, I do agree that the working line is usually a healthier line to breed and to have but I do believe that there are breeders that breed show lines so that people can have a more balanced German shepherd with a lower drive and a better fit for familys and that also breed for health and their dogs have higher back legs, which means the Dogs are straighter. I also know that some breeders of the show line sometimes have to mix the show lines with the working lines in order to have healthier dogs. It is harder to find a healthier show line German shepherd these days but it's not impossible!
Also I have a show line (female) German shepherd that has a normal back and is amazing at search and rescue and is a great protection dog. A really hard worker 👌
showing dogs for "conformation" is just pure bs, I have a GSD over here in the EU.....sharp, protective, smart and still going strong at 10.....the list of dog breeds destroyed by breeding for the show is too long to get into here but suffice to say there's been a lot of heartbreak because of these "breeders"//
A lot of show gsd people never want to admit that this breed is actually a low content wolf dog. That’s right. At the very foundation of this breed, four out crosses to European wolves were made.
I like working line gsds but some breeders like the one u featured almost dont focus on confirmation at all to the point where the dog is tiny, idk bt u but i dont think a damn corgi of a gsd can stop a man or take him down, this is why i would only pick german showline gsds or eastern block working german shepherds as those dogs both are healthy and not tiny ass dogs
Hopefully you guys are educated now because show lines are actually much more healthy than working lines due to having better angulation throughout their body. Working lines lack proper movement and structure typically they’re restricted to elbow movement when it should be the whole body moving.
Working line German Shepherds are far to extreme for the average person to handle. It becomes a lifestyle, a lifestyle revolving around your dog! No ands, ifs, or buts. As a preservation breeder of the German Shepherd my goal is to have a dogs that can compete in the show ring, and also the protection field.That means breeding working lines and show lines together, and the dogs being produced have been amazing. Now, I love your channel and your documentaries, but as a dog trainer and AKC exhibitor in multiple venues, It is absolutely ludicrous to say show line German Shepherds have hip and elbow problems as a whole, when it was backyard bloodlines ruining the breed. 99% of those dogs from show breeders are OFA tested and have good, excellent hips. Anyone can check OFA's (Orthopedic Fountain of Animals) website for I am so tired of this false narrative that rear angulation = hip problems. It doesn't at all! The breeders we need to be against is the backyard breeders, and the average folks who want to have a litter with their GSDs with HORRIBLE temperaments and health. Guess what? THOSE breeders are creating hip dysplasia, DM, epilepsy, and and trashing the breed with other issues, don't attack preservation show breeders.
I’m in a terrible situation and need help!!!! I some how stumbled on myself getting a 3 year old rescue gsd. The dog is very aggressive to other dogs/cats. I can’t take him on walks because he pulls me to hard and I hurt my shoulder. I have to put him on a leash when he goes outside because he would hop the Fence. I love the dog and even thought about putting him up for adoption but I really want to keep him because I fell in love. Pls guys give me some advice, much love||||| I've had him for a half a year and I really want to be a good owner and be active especially because gsd's are super active. Had a Belgian malinois which was already trained sadly he passed at age 5 by car accident.
@@tvvistedv3nom26 I didn’t take him to a trainer he eventually calmed down. He listens & I take him on walks all the time now haha took like 8 months after that comment was made but yeah much better
I feel like the Show Line GSDs are for people who want a dog that is "intimidating" and popular, but they don't want to go too much into the hardcore training of a Working Line. They're also for families that don't even worry about throwing money at the vet. Edit: Also, I've heard from a lot of GSD owners that they're very in tune with emotions and that can hinder training a bit. If you get too frustrated with them, they will become worried and confused.
Show line breeders have done their darn best to turn a healthy powerful WORKING dog into a sick cripple. What they do is animal cruelty that will only result in horrendous veterinarian bills for you and a (short!) lifetime of pain for the poor dog. Don't support show line breeders!
And one comparing working line German shepherds to show line German shepherd‘s nearly 90% of the time the working line German Shepherd‘s have weaker hips and are more prone to hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. Whenever correctly bread show line German shepherds went through a webet they always scored excellent nearly 80% of the time but working lions almost always score mild to normal I’ve never seen a working line go on excellent on their hips. So typically if you want a healthier dog that’s going to live longer and have the reduced risk of hip and elbow dysplasia I would go with a show line

We need a living with a working line German Shepard
shepherd
Daniel Wri19 agreed
He's got a bring da smoke on them which is dope
2hr walks, 15-30minutes of high intensity exercise 3x per day. Bite work is intense so 15 minutes is fine because it involves more mental effort. When she gets too excited, it can get a little scary... an 80lb dog sprinting full speed in every direction and pouncing toward you is a no- no. If the e collar doesn't work the crate is the next resort. I have a heavy duty crate with a 1" thick matt so she doesn't eat anything like a blanket.
All food is given as a reward and that's the benefit with kibble, mine is 30% protein she gets things like eggs, cartilage still etc with wet food... Even with all that exercise and training, the gears still turn! If she is a "bad girl" which is at least two or three times a days, she has to go in the crate for a nap and CHILL.
I train my dogs to associate relaxing and happy with crates by only feeding them in there as pups and sleeping there. It's a happy place. 😊 It's not Jail! For the most part lol.

I took him to a tracking seminar where he did better than the working lines there. I wish people would understand that there are bad working line breeders, too. The looks I get when I tell someone my dog is a show line are awful.... until I bring him out and he does better or just as good as the working lines.
@@rachel_daniels German show lines have sloped backs, not extreme though.
Love the channel, happy for your dog.
@@rachel_daniels look show lines are not original GSD or are not how a gsd should be
@@rachel_daniels That's so great! I hate the prejudice against Show lines, just because some people in america f'd it up. I also found a great breeder in Belgium who has show line gsd's and I will be doing IPO with the dog.
@Nalesh Hewavithana no, they have sloped backs. Show lines more so than the working ones. There is not much correlation between "slope" and health (not including US and UK abominations). Both show and working lines suffer from dysplasia etc. If bred correctly and with luck - live the same.
I really enjoy your videos!
Hello 👋 Kylie
How are you doing?
Ugh! I hate what show people have done to this breed! I'll take a GSD over a maligator any day. Too many end up in shelters due to the lack of knowledge, socialization, training, and mental stimulation by their owners. Best breed in the world! ❤❤❤
I have a gorgeous, very intelligent, driven, extremely affectionate 5mth old bi color gsd named Opal and i wouldnt trade her or my Boston for the world.
American Bulldog, Bullmastiff next please!
We just got a GSD, would like to see you do a video on the King Shepherd variant.
King Shepherd isn’t a variant it’s just a mix with malamutes and Great Pyrenees
GSD for life!!!
American show lines are still quite healthy and still have working ability, they're breeding is just less regulated.
Great video!!!!! Would you ever do a video on the Blue Bay Shepherd?
The Creator's kennel is in Florida....
Very nice lady👍
Do you know the lyncan shepherd a new breed
@@mr.harambe2658 sure do.
Love ur channel
For me these are the best dogs on arth
I have two work-line german shepherds.... they seem to get larger than show shepherds so if size is a factor for you definitely get a workline
That’s odd because show lines are generally bred to be bigger. Working line are medium sized most of the time. I do have a very large East German working line male which they seem to be the largest of the working lines and a Czech female that is pretty small for a shepherd. Used to have show lines and they were all as big or a bit bigger than my male I have now
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me- 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father-and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.

@@xcd87 you're clueless
How can I differentiate a working line breeder from a show line breeder?
I think it will be on the paperwork
Working line have a straighter back and more energetic
Look at their stock lol
Kai Alive show lines usually come in tan/red and black while working dogs are tan black, sable, all black, bicolor and gray, working lines are a little bit more active and more agresive while show lines are calm and are friendly with kids and also aggressive
You can tell by looking at their dogs, and it should be obvious if you're getting your dog from a reputable breeder. Most reputable breeders have a website, or Facebook page, and if you look around on there it should be obvious. If they're showing their dogs for conformation, they're show breeders. If their dogs are in protection sports, or agility, or herding etc, they're probably working bred gsd's. If you can't tell just by looking at their dogs you might wanna do more research though, lol.
Can anybody plz tell me the name of the background music??
Not true. In Germany every show dog had to work too. Showlines work just as hard.
V true..same goes for German rottweilers..they earn show titles as well as working ones
Very true, there's a difference between German showline and American showline.
Fully agree with you had GSD showline for years and they do all the working dog routines as its nature was to work before it was a show dog... a real GSD dog show is much different to work is shown in this video
Thank you. I have one and he works beautifully :)
So basically I'm going to comment this video to give my opinion on show line German shepherds. Yes, I do agree that the working line is usually a healthier line to breed and to have but I do believe that there are breeders that breed show lines so that people can have a more balanced German shepherd with a lower drive and a better fit for familys and that also breed for health and their dogs have higher back legs, which means the Dogs are straighter. I also know that some breeders of the show line sometimes have to mix the show lines with the working lines in order to have healthier dogs. It is harder to find a healthier show line German shepherd these days but it's not impossible!
Also I have a show line (female) German shepherd that has a normal back and is amazing at search and rescue and is a great protection dog. A really hard worker 👌
Can you do a video on the Black Russian Terrier please
Could you please share few good breeding programs from which we should consider getting a puppy
showing dogs for "conformation" is just pure bs, I have a GSD over here in the EU.....sharp, protective, smart and still going strong at 10.....the list of dog breeds destroyed by breeding for the show is too long to get into here but suffice to say there's been a lot of heartbreak because of these "breeders"//
Way to go German shepherds 😃😃😃
Hi there can u please do a documentary about a East European shepherd
How did the show line get to that stage?
Can you explain what is a petline German Shepherd bro
Ibizan hound video please! 😊
Hey! I’m a single woman in my late 20s living alone, which breed would you recommend for protection?
Can you do a German Shorthaired Pointer documentary please
Nice one again. Can you do one for Doberman?
2nd😂, love the GSD
I have a work line german and tbh hes my joy and pride. I feel so bad for the showline germans
why so? showlines are very capable of working too
A lot of show gsd people never want to admit that this breed is actually a low content wolf dog. That’s right. At the very foundation of this breed, four out crosses to European wolves were made.
from what I know the original dogs had a quarter wolf but that is all but bred out of them by now
What about doing some videos on the McNab?
Do a video on the kangal please
I like working line gsds but some breeders like the one u featured almost dont focus on confirmation at all to the point where the dog is tiny, idk bt u but i dont think a damn corgi of a gsd can stop a man or take him down, this is why i would only pick german showline gsds or eastern block working german shepherds as those dogs both are healthy and not tiny ass dogs
Hopefully you guys are educated now because show lines are actually much more healthy than working lines due to having better angulation throughout their body. Working lines lack proper movement and structure typically they’re restricted to elbow movement when it should be the whole body moving.
gsd best for everything...........intelligent, guard, family pet, and police
German Shepherds ❤️
Working lines GSDS are the best
All German Shepherds should be health and genetic tested before being bred. Being “straight back” or vet checked is never enough for this breed.
Shar Pei Breed review please
Please do a video on Ibizan hounds
Hello 👋 Brooklyn
How are you doing?
Working line German Shepherds are far to extreme for the average person to handle. It becomes a lifestyle, a lifestyle revolving around your dog! No ands, ifs, or buts. As a preservation breeder of the German Shepherd my goal is to have a dogs that can compete in the show ring, and also the protection field.That means breeding working lines and show lines together, and the dogs being produced have been amazing.
Now, I love your channel and your documentaries, but as a dog trainer and AKC exhibitor in multiple venues, It is absolutely ludicrous to say show line German Shepherds have hip and elbow problems as a whole, when it was backyard bloodlines ruining the breed. 99% of those dogs from show breeders are OFA tested and have good, excellent hips. Anyone can check OFA's (Orthopedic Fountain of Animals) website for I am so tired of this false narrative that rear angulation = hip problems. It doesn't at all!
The breeders we need to be against is the backyard breeders, and the average folks who want to have a litter with their GSDs with HORRIBLE temperaments and health. Guess what? THOSE breeders are creating hip dysplasia, DM, epilepsy, and and trashing the breed with other issues, don't attack preservation show breeders.
Go for a German show line - they have to do both. Only dogs who can are bred from and temperament is tested and kept stable.
They used to be my number one favorite breed
Ryan Pendzik what’s the current one?
Like the one on video
If only I had a dog 😔
not all german shepherds have the drive to be trained in protection training, so if this is something you're wanting, then do your research.
I’m in a terrible situation and need help!!!! I some how stumbled on myself getting a 3 year old rescue gsd. The dog is very aggressive to other dogs/cats. I can’t take him on walks because he pulls me to hard and I hurt my shoulder. I have to put him on a leash when he goes outside because he would hop the
Fence. I love the dog and even thought about putting him up for adoption but I really want to keep him because I fell in love. Pls guys give me some advice, much love||||| I've had him for a half a year and I really want to be a good owner and be active especially because gsd's are super active. Had a Belgian malinois which was already trained sadly he passed at age 5 by car accident.
Did you get him trained ?
@@tvvistedv3nom26 I didn’t take him to a trainer he eventually calmed down. He listens & I take him on walks all the time now haha took like 8 months after that comment was made but yeah much better
@@312streezy8 that’s good to hear
@@tvvistedv3nom26 yeah it is, apparently the owner kept him isolated in a basement for his entire puppy stage
I want one
do ibizan hounds?
I feel like the Show Line GSDs are for people who want a dog that is "intimidating" and popular, but they don't want to go too much into the hardcore training of a Working Line. They're also for families that don't even worry about throwing money at the vet.
Edit: Also, I've heard from a lot of GSD owners that they're very in tune with emotions and that can hinder training a bit. If you get too frustrated with them, they will become worried and confused.
i’m getting a showline for bite sports 🤷♀️
Showline GSD has been ruined, too much of health issues. Low drive working line for family.
What are the health issues that show dogs have that the working dogs don't ? Answer on a postcard please
I had one blueblack she was beuautyfull
i wishd id had some day 33+42-75 diffrent breed of dogs and 7 german shepards
Show line breeders have done their darn best to turn a healthy powerful WORKING dog into a sick cripple. What they do is animal cruelty that will only result in horrendous veterinarian bills for you and a (short!) lifetime of pain for the poor dog.
Don't support show line breeders!
👍
And one comparing working line German shepherds to show line German shepherd‘s nearly 90% of the time the working line German Shepherd‘s have weaker hips and are more prone to hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia. Whenever correctly bread show line German shepherds went through a webet they always scored excellent nearly 80% of the time but working lions almost always score mild to normal I’ve never seen a working line go on excellent on their hips. So typically if you want a healthier dog that’s going to live longer and have the reduced risk of hip and elbow dysplasia I would go with a show line
Can we know the difference between the lifespan of each, the show line is around 10, what is for the working line?
mine lived 13 years
12-15 years for working line
Show dogs are a joke
More like working lines they look mix with other breeds with random ass colors,
I prefer the Belgian Shepherds
