I find it extremely strange that there is no mention of the distinctively separate show line (American and German) and work line (East German, West German and Czech work line varieties). Lot of talk about the breed's work abilities but no mention that most of them are not sloping back show line dogs but more compact and agile work line animals with square hips. Why is this? 176.72.36.94 (talk) 17:53, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
"German Shepherd" could then be a redirecting pointer to the official "German Shepherd Dog" page. "Dog" is an integral part of the breed name in both USA AKC and UK TKC registries. [1] [2] Ckeilah (talk) 20:12, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Why is the variant section included in this? We don't list crossbreeds and offshoots in other articles. Examples: the crossbreed Labradoodle is not mentioned in Labrador Retriever or Poodle (except in passing in the "see also" segment of poodle), nor is the breed Alaskan Klee Kai included in Alaskan husky. I do not own a copy of Hancock's book, but I'm really surprised by this. The East European Shepherd is a Russian breed whose foundational stock was German Shepherds 100 years ago.[1] King Shepherds and Shiloh Shepherds are notably crossbreeds, although the Shiloh Shepherd is now establishing as a new breed/breed in development.[2] And White shepherds and White Swiss Shepherds have their own page.
