More specifically, what are the major differences between an East German and a West German Shepherd? Or the difference between a Czeck and a German bred dog?
I would like to see how many people like one type over another, and why?
And how can you tell the difference in type when looking at a dog or a dog's pedigree?
I was just curious and would appreciate any comments anyone would like to put forward!
Thanks!

there are many threads debating the points of this topic if you read thru.
You have a family lineage. Well a dog does as well. You have many lines. There are more than one line as a lot refer to czech lines. there are multiple. I personally own a ddr/czech line cross. My next will be pure czech hopefully full zPS lines. Reason being is i like sound health and temperament dogs that are raw or handler hard with natural instinct and poise of a apidemy of the shepherd as well as nice balanced drives. In my personal opinion you cant top the guys from the zPS farm as they are famous for the dogs they produce steadily and the work there dogs have to complete on a daily basis.
west german, ddr, czech, slovakian,swedish,UK, American, etc..... there are to many to list and debate in one post. as there are thousands of posts on this forum about this topic and hasnt covered it all yet.

I was just curious in a general outlook how each line performs differently from others. Any main points which make each one different.

it is an area in which a lineage can be traced. there are distinct difference with east and west german lines since they were seperated for so many years. Also it is beleived a lot of DDR dogs were mixed with czech lines post wwII because of the shortage of good working military dogs. Honestly there is a ton of research that you would need to do on history and history of the breed to start understand it as most of what you get here is opinion with interpretations of facts.

what do you mean when you say "looks like a DDR type dog"
This is part of the reason I posted this topic....what are the classic characteristics of DDR dogs?
This is the link to my dog's pedigree, It goes back to Lord vom Gleisredeieck, who was a DDR dog.

I guess I was wondering the differences so I could see where my dog's character comes into play

How do you like your girl? Uschi is very handler focus and works very well. Has a bit of a confidence issue but is learning to work through that.
Did you get her directly through the vom andi kennel?
Since I have a daughter out vom andi parents I was thinking about importing a puppy directly from them, but I have not yet decided.
