What is the difference between the American style of German Shepherd and the European German Shepherds?
I hear this one more and more, so I’ll try to give a short answer. Many of the dogs showing in the AKC conformation ring are the American style. They tend to be long dogs with extreme hip angulation; very few have working titles. Many have skittish temperaments and are unstable. The working drives have long been bred out of most. This is just not my style of dog, as I like the versatile nature of the German style dog.
