What are the key differences between old and new German Shepherds in terms of temperament, physical characteristics, and overall breed standards?
Old German Shepherds, also known as working line German Shepherds, are typically bred for their working abilities and have a more intense drive and energy level. They are often used for tasks such as herding, protection, and search and rescue. In contrast, new German Shepherds, or show line German Shepherds, are bred for their appearance and conform to breed standards set by kennel clubs. They tend to have a calmer temperament and are more suitable as family pets. Physically, old German Shepherds may have a more athletic build with a straighter back, while new German Shepherds often have a sloped back and a more exaggerated appearance. Overall, the key differences lie in their intended purpose, temperament, physical characteristics, and adherence to breed standards.

German Shepherds are prone to hip and elbow dysplasia and Dobermanns are particularly vulnerable to heart disease. Both breeds have great working ability and stamina and are hardy enough to live outdoors (provided a kennel is used).
