For someone living in Europe, the show line german shepherds are just not the thing. People overbreed them, as they are the most accessible to find a breeder in. If you want a good german shepherd who will last more than 10 years, you have yourself better suited getting a working line german shepherd from an experienced breeder.
Id would imagine that would happen over there. It is starting to happen here now as well with everyone thinking they are breeders. Only go to reputable breeders
And daily exercise and always make some one on one time for your dog no matter how tired you feel. German Shepherds need to feel they are part of the family and their loyalty and love will be returned to you 10 fold. Adopting my rescued GSD recently was the best, although she thinks she is the boss of my house and me lol. All the best with adopting your German shepherd.
TITANID3 what fur color r u gonna get there bicolor tan sable black n white German Shepherd for my next dog I rather get both white n black German Shepherd cuz to me they look wolfy
Damn, I can relate to this, lost my best friend only that she didn’t pass away, she was like a sister to me... I really miss her now, I just wanted to let her know that I hope u will be happy 4ever and will stay safe and healthy but I know she won’t see this at all :(
I am so glad I found this, I wanted a show line, but I did not like the roach back due to health issues earlier on. I am definitely going to look for a west show line now!
Hi ... Thank you for your video. I have a question and it maybe a silly question I'm from the UK and doing alot of research into German Shepherds, with western shoreline I understand they have less drive than the working line but carry the characteristics of working line gsd. My question is that with a western shoreline gsd, will they still have the instinct to protect. You touched on this briefly and I wanted to know more. Where would you also find western shoreline breeders I'm struggling to find some.
Aww dogs have the ability to naturally protect but a Trained protection dog is much different. And it depends on what you want, I prefer working lines and imports over west german. Watch my video on protection dogs and maybe that will help
Hey they sure will have that instinct but for a specific protection dog going a working line that is designed for the job is a better option. Go watch k9Apollo's video
I have 2yo female GSD who might as well be Lucy’s twin, through research and her temperament I found that she is a west German show line as well. Everyone sees these malinois and working GSDs and think they want that however 90% of people can’t handle them and their insane drive. I’m blessed to have a dog who has a super high drive but also has an off button 😭 she is best friends with my 1YO son those two are always cuddling or up to mischief. She’s most definitely NATURALLY protective, if someone we’re to walk behind me, especially at night, she’s doing a complete 180 and walking backwards as I go forward, and is completely friendly even strangers but also verryyy suspicious towards some people. I Love what you said that they’re apart of the family, mine might as well be the biggest lap/velcro dog. Message to all others who might want a GSD: Any breed aside, you absolutely have to put in that time and work In training no dog is going to be what you want just cause your mom or dad
@9:36 when you watch Lucy you only see the nice gold color of her fur..really beautiful..Thanks for the detailed explanation of the different types of German shepherds..I love the Lucy types thats for sure😊👍🏼
It depends what you want. A working line can be worse if you can't handle the drive and the dog destroys everything you own. A showline maybe better for a all round family dog.
hey can you help me? I cant still decide which I want. I want GSD for protection dog for my family but in my heart I want Showline GSD when it comes to behavior. in my country we dont have a west german showline here.
Hallo buddy!!Have a question for you... Planning to get a working line german Shepherd puppy... During summer i will be at my village..Which has a lot of stairs...Do you think its going to be bad for his hips?If yes i am going to get him after summer...
I'll be getting a DDR gsd, but are you sure they are almost the same cuz i was quite confused😅, can u plz explain the differences between the german showline and DDR
Big Like, So Handsome German Shepherd. Thanks for your video. ❤❤❤ I hope to be your friend sharing daily life with our dogs. I am a dad of Silver Poodle and White Bichon here. 😊😊
I really enjoy learning from your factual and entertaining Lucy videos she sure is a beautiful girl, I also like your tee shirt which looks like Lucy. We went with a West German show line GSD pup and named him Hardrock, his grandfather was the #1 GSD in Germany and after breeding in Germany for a few years was sold to China. We are Rhodesian Ridgeback breeders but I wanted to back to my first dogs which were GDSs we will be getting a female Ridgeback in 2 weeks so my biggest fear is how rough and tough 4 month old juiced up Hardrock will be with an 8 week old girl, I might have to keep them separate for awhile.
Good video, I sure I have a West German Working Line as she is similar to yours but bigger and straight back, she is lovely and loyal but has that working drive most dogs don't have. West German Shepherds tend to be larger and have shorter thicker noses and broader shoulders btw.
I like the European/German show line and the working line and at one time I was a huge fan of German shepherds even though I didn’t had one but at the time I was really into working lines however don’t underestimate European show lines because they can work and they’re really athletic comparison to the American show lines. Do Europeans both come in long hair and the undercoat short hair and they come in black and red while the American show line still has that short hair undercoat but their tan markings are a bit lighter and their legs are very awkward
Well that wasn't what I was expecting ... almost nothing on actual working lines, just basically a giant plug to someone talking about them and other dogs ... I'm a bit 'meh' on that process ... I suppose it's one way to collab, but I wasn't expecting to have to watch two video's to watch your breakdown - although it does explain why your video is only 12mins long, I was wondering how you'd fit it all in in such a small amount of time LOL ya can't :P LOL I'll get over it ... But because I can't help but talk about mine .... both Janan and Juliet are line crosses - both pedigree dogs, but both show x working lines (they're from different kennels and so different lines though) ... and they love their job (or learning a job) and my adult Janan can go a full day working without being completely knackered at the end of it, Juliet's brain turns to honeycomb after about half an hour, but she's still a baby, so we forgive her these things, she still has lots of 'go go' in her, but she just can't concentrate LOL ... but both of them are Spinal Tap dogs, dialled it up to 11!! They keep me busy that's for sure ...
I’ll agree with what you said it’s a lot to discuss the difference but really there’s key points on the difference between the two. And it depends on what focal points you want to cover. It was a way to collab and I did my video on protection dogs as a whole
@@RuffnItOutdoors it's a fun discussion though :-) especially if you have dogs from those lines or cross-line dogs ... I obviously have a passion for cross-lines (even though that can be total hit and miss depending on what you're looking for - TALK to the breeder!!), one of mine currently is, and the other is learning how to be, an Assistance Dog, so I need that a high energy dog that can last a day working, but still be a big cuddle muffin for people who never learned to keep their hands to themselves!!! I'm just about to take mine to the beach though ... I'll comment on your video when we get back, I had thoughts, I just didn't share them ... Thank you for replying to me though, I appreciate it :-) ...
Alicia Hollywood absolutely so my dog is actually a cross but not crossed line but a Czech/German import. I 100% agree though it’s definitely about your needs or overall want for a dog. I myself prefer working lines more than anything
@@Lucythegermanshepherd I forgive you LOL Like you need me to ... not everyone knows everything ... I learned something while watching this ... so I'm happy ... I just like talking about my girls, and so I stalk you and other GSD owner channels :D they're beautiful dogs ... and so useful for so many things ... and they love their hoomans ;-)
Are you kidding rotts are one of the most destructive breed. I gave my rottwheiller a frisbee he ripped it into shreds. He ripped apart the couch literally.It took me months to train that behaviour out of him.
I love German Shepards but the show line ones just don’t appeal to me. Czech/DDR working lines are just so awesome and like owning a Dire Wolf that is insanely trainable. Most families can’t handle them though. They have the same drive as a Belgian malonios.
The title of this video is very misleading - you spent the majority of it discussing the differences between American/Canadian and west German SHOW line dogs - not the differences between show and working lines... it wasn’t until the end that you brought in an advocate for the working lines, who actually doesn’t discuss anything at all - he just pitches his channel. This was disappointing.
I spent awhile almost 20 minutes talking about protection dogs in my video when I pitched my channel. The whole point was for people to watch a video about protection dogs as a whole with mine.
Toni Foster be grateful? As if I’m ungrateful for the content? You people fail to realize that the title of the video is still misleading. It doesn’t matter what the other guy talked about on an entirely different video - THIS video was not about the differences between show line and working line shepherds. That’s all I’m saying. This video should have been titled, “differences between different show line German shepherds, with a plug to a working line shepherd video”
Good video Zac. Rosie my female German shepherd varies from Lucy a little but is the same breed of German shepherd. She does not have the the black markings above her eyes like a long eyebrow or black on the inside of her ears, it's all brown like parts of Lucy's head. Lucy also has more black on her back which runs down her side between her front and back legs where Rosie has a band of fawn breaking up the black on the sides of her body. Rosie's rear leg area where they attach to her body are almost identical in colour to Lucy's. All German Shepherds are protective of their human family members. You are right that Lucy gave the scary man a warning who came to your place rather than biting him. Socialization helps here but Lucy would also read your body language to see if this person posed a potential threat to you. If she perceived this she would attack him. German Shepherds are very loyal to their human family and will give their own lives to save yours. Rosie my gsd sleeps on my bed until she gets too hot during the night and sleeps on the carpeted floor but does come back on the bed during the early hours of the morning. If I watch TV she lies next to me on the 3 seater couch giving her lots of Pat's and rubbing her belly and telling her often what a beautiful girl she is. or sometimes she prefers to lay by my feet on the carpeted floor and we spend a lot of time playing together to. She loves playing tug, chasing her tennis ball or dog play where she tries to bite my hands gently as I rub her belly, grab her tail or nose all in gentle play mode with her and she understands it's a game only. She does her own thing too. She loves looking out the living room window and watching the world go by. She does not like the postman lol but this is common for most dog breeds.
same w wl border collies vs show. a DNA test was done and it found that the difference in wl & show line borders were as different as separate breeds......>.> it's prob the same for gsds.
The Americans have ruined the GSD with the sloping back and weighing in around 40 kg. I have a working line straight back, he’s 12 months and weighs in at 58 kg
such misinformation about showlines. why does everyone always assume that showlines can’t work when there’s been so much proof of it? i’ve seen so many showlines in herding and even sometimes IPO & PSA. a well bred showline will also have a straight back
do show line can train as protection dog..i just want to be my show line can be a house protection dog that all nothing else.can it be possible???im not interested at show at all..i just want her to be a house dog..who can protect you from intruter or thieves??
NOW , I DONT KNOW WHAT NAME SHOULD I GIVE MY TO BE BORN YET FEMALE GS......PALMA OR. LUCIE ? They ARE REALLY THE BEST DOG IN THE WHOLE WORLD.....I DONT LIKE TO SAY THIS ..but ...I. THINK ITS TRUE AND A FACT ..THAT THERE ARE TIMES GSD ARE BETTER THAN MANY OF US , AS COMPANION IN LIFE.
Own a female black & red show show line, & a Sable colored, male East German straight back, working class GSD. In terms of health, the American/Western German Shepherd (basically the same canine) have been bred to deformity. GSD’s were not created for their hind ends to sit right above the ground while standing. That said, doesn’t matter how respectable the breeder is. All have been over bred, & inherent deformity’s that manifest (American/Western German) in the GSD show line’s joints, & hips. Problems will start to develop early with arthritis setting around 6-7 years (at best), & will eventually deteriorate…Leaving a life span of approx 9 years, & very expensive vet bills needed to achieve their mean life expectancy. The East German/Czech (straight back) working breeds tend to be more expensive at time of purchase. However, their capabilities completely outperform (apples to oranges comparison) those of any show line. They can be more aggressive, have a lot more pain tolerance, fairly easier to train (all GSD puppies require several hours a day of training/work), far more obedient (will not hesitate to take a bullet for its owner) and most importantly, his Vet bills (the real expense of owning a GSD) are a fraction of what my female Show Class Black & Red GSD requires. FYI-Besides subtle color variations there is absolutely no difference between an American, or a Western German show line GSD. Even the AKC does not recognize any difference between the two…..Again, expect for minor color variants (which might give the illusion of a slightly different build) there’s absolutely no difference in size, or temperament between American/West German lines…….Same dogs, but they’ve both been over bred for decades now. Show lines were never meant to be disfigured canines, & that explains why their working line GSD counterparts beat them at everything. If pathetic dog shows, & high vets bills aren’t your thing buy the more muscular East German, or Czech military grade, straight back, work alcoholic GSD, but must put in the necessary time to train it properly….. Will not be disappointed.
The weak backends should be bred out of Sheps. It shouldn't be allowed under any circumstance. It's cruel that they have been bred for looks instead of health. Lucy looks pretty great for a showline, alot leaner, sleeker and stronger back end then most showlines over here. I guess you are right that north american showlines are so much worse! Poor things.
Nothing can justify what has been done to the showline winning shepherds. They have effectively been crippled and are a painful sight to see. I couldn't join the local German Shepherd training club as I knew looking at shepherds with severely roached backs and angulated hocks would kill me. 💔We have an East German/ Czech working line who, for the most part, been an ideal family dog. Thank goodness he doesn't have as much 'juice in his tank" 🤣 as we'd anticipated. Love your vids. It's heartwarming to see the loving and deep bond you guys have with Lucy. Lucky Lucy, lucky you!
Working line and showline German Shepherds are very iconic breeds, both are popular Dogs of all.
Lucy would make a great therapy dog too - love the way she looks straight into the camera and smiles...

Hi am India
Hey from Sydney, Australia
Own a female black & red show show line, & a Sable colored, male East German straight back, working class GSD. In terms of health, the American/Western German Shepherd (basically the same canine) have been bred to deformity. GSD’s were not created for their hind ends to sit right above the ground while standing. That said, doesn’t matter how respectable the breeder is. All have been over bred, & inherent deformity’s that manifest (American/Western German) in the GSD show line’s joints, & hips. Problems will start to develop early with arthritis setting around 6-7 years (at best), & will eventually deteriorate…Leaving a life span of approx 9 years, & very expensive vet bills needed to achieve their mean life expectancy.
The East German/Czech (straight back) working breeds tend to be more expensive at time of purchase. However, their capabilities completely outperform (apples to oranges comparison) those of any show line. They can be more aggressive, have a lot more pain tolerance, fairly easier to train (all GSD puppies require several hours a day of training/work), far more obedient (will not hesitate to take a bullet for its owner) and most importantly, his Vet bills (the real expense of owning a GSD) are a fraction of what my female Show Class Black & Red GSD requires.
FYI-Besides subtle color variations there is absolutely no difference between an American, or a Western German show line GSD. Even the AKC does not recognize any difference between the two…..Again, expect for minor color variants (which might give the illusion of a slightly different build) there’s absolutely no difference in size, or temperament between American/West German lines…….Same dogs, but they’ve both been over bred for decades now. Show lines were never meant to be disfigured canines, & that explains why their working line GSD counterparts beat them at everything. If pathetic dog shows, & high vets bills aren’t your thing buy the more muscular East German, or Czech military grade, straight back, work alcoholic GSD, but must put in the necessary time to train it properly….. Will not be disappointed.
lol that is a thick accent
The weak backends should be bred out of Sheps. It shouldn't be allowed under any circumstance. It's cruel that they have been bred for looks instead of health. Lucy looks pretty great for a showline, alot leaner, sleeker and stronger back end then most showlines over here. I guess you are right that north american showlines are so much worse! Poor things.
well bred showlines actually have beautiful structure and are quite healthy!
Nothing can justify what has been done to the showline winning shepherds. They have effectively been crippled and are a painful sight to see. I couldn't join the local German Shepherd training club as I knew looking at shepherds with severely roached backs and angulated hocks would kill me. 💔We have an East German/ Czech working line who, for the most part, been an ideal family dog. Thank goodness he doesn't have as much 'juice in his tank" 🤣 as we'd anticipated. Love your vids. It's heartwarming to see the loving and deep bond you guys have with Lucy. Lucky Lucy, lucky you!
the people that call showlines “crippled” always seem to know very little about show lines
