WHAT IS ORIGINAL GERMAN SHEPHERD

In these days this breed is very popular in India and for many people keeping this breed is their status symbol.This breed is one of the most toughest ,brave,loyal and intelligent breed in dog breed history.It is said and experienced by many people that this breed is the only breed who can take a bullet for the one they love and that is the reason these dogs are used in USA POLICE FORCE or MANY MILIATRY FORCES OF MANY COUNTRIES in large scale.  Actually this breed was originated in germany since 1899.German name of this breed is Deutscher Schäferhund but it is called German shepherd in English in Germany and Alsation in USA.

few people those are unaware of this breed think that both German shepherd and Alsation are different dog breed but basically both are same breed just their name is different..actually there is a reason why German shepherd started being called alsation and the reason is that during the World war II when americans were refusing to use anything related to germany then that time they couldnt refuse this noble breed dog because of its intelligence and many other quality. So they decided to call them Alsation officially instead of calling them German shepherd because  in German shepherd term they had to use that German word so they replaced it...

Another rumour related to this breed is that today almost every breeder who doesnt have enough knowledge or hasnt reasearched enough about this breed thinks that every german shepherd must have that angulation feature like according to them every german shepherd must have that declined back from their shoulder to root of their tail but basically this one is the modified feature of a german shepherd and you wouldnt believe that a pure breed german shepherd doesnt have that declined back( angulation).This angulation in todays german shepherd is the result of breeding in USA for showline purposes and it causes many health issues in todays german shepherd like HIP DISPLASIA,ARTHRITIS  and many other health issues related to their bones but in reality when the german shepherds were bred in 1899 for herding or any other farm purposes  then they dint have any angulation feature in them and they were the original german shepherds without any health issues.

CLASSIFICATION OF GERMAN SHEPHERD ON THE BASIS OF THEIR PURPOSES

WORKLINE GERMAN SHEPHERD(EAST LINE) : 

These gsd were bred in germany  for herding and guarding purposes and these were the first german shepherd bred in 1899 without angulation(declination in their back).These were light weighted as compared to todays german shepherd and thats one of the reason they are free from many bone related health issues and that is the reason they are used by police department and milliatry forces.
So guys if u need a german shepherd for guarding or any kind of work purposes whether it is outdoor or indoor then i would say that you must prefer "workline german shepherd"

SHOWLINE GERMAN SHEPHERD(WEST LINE) :

Another name for these german shepherd can be modern gsd.These german shepherds were berd only for showline purposes with angulation(declination in their back) and heavy weight and these are the reason they faces so many health issues like HIP DISPLASIA,ARTHRITIS,RICKETS and many more bone related health issues.
So guys if u need a german shepherd for dog shows n all then these shepherds are perfect for you but if u need a gsd having ultimate capabilities without any health issues then these showline german shepherd could be bad choice for you.
