German shepherds are very intelligent breeds, and can be trained pretty easily - so they are commonly thought of as a calm breed. They are also not very playful since they are naturally bred to be a working breed, so they don't constantly want attention or to be pet.
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.
