It is not a different breed, but a specific gene that causes long hair in German Shepherds. A German Shepherd with long hair is still of the German Shepherd Breed.

A long haired dog is quite simply a long haired dog (or Dog with long hair). Last time I checked there were no special names for long haired dogs but of course there are lots of breeds of long haired dogs. Hope this helped :)
German Shepherd's in general are quite the hardy breed and can take quite a vary of conditions. If you wish to get a Shepherd for cold weather I suggest a long hair as they can take it better and won't shed as much.
No, Hitler didn't create German shepherd dogs, they existed long before Hitler was around, but Hitler did own German shepherds.
Yes, I do believe they are as I have a short hair. I think that long haired German shepherds are harder to brush and clean because of their long hair.I own a Long Hair German Shepherd, and we do not have to brush her once a day. They seem like they would get muddy and matted, but actually, I have a retriever, and she get's much more mats than my shepherd. We take them to the groomers for a bath with soap and brushing once every couple months, and in between we don't have to brush her.
As long as both the dogs came from reputable breeders and good family lines you shouldn't have any problem. German Shepards are a breed that is notoriously commonly bred in puppy mills, which creates horrible dogs loaded with behavioral problems. As long as you know that the dogs are from good sources and their breeders have a good reputation and can supply you with information about their parents and other dogs and all is good you shouldn't have a problem.
