Males lifting one of their hind legs to urinate is widely believed in the veterinary field to be a hormonal development. With that said males begin to go through "puberty" if you will at anywhere from 8 - 15 months. Once testosterone begins to be produced they will then begin to lift their legs to pee.

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.
