The Lines of the German Shepherd Dog
One of the things that makes the German Shepherd such a remarkable breed is the diversity within it. Over the years, different lines have been developed—each with its own look, temperament, and purpose.
🐾 Czech Working Line – Known for intensity, drive, and athleticism. Bred for demanding police and military work.
🐾 East German (DDR) Working Line – Strong structure, stamina, and loyalty. Originally bred under strict government programs for service.
🐾 West German Working Line – Balanced between work and family, versatile in sport, protection, and companionship.
🐾 American Show Line – Known for elegance, flowing movement, and distinct angulation, bred for the conformation ring.
🐾 West German Show Line – Strong bone, rich colors, and steady temperament. Bred to standard with a focus on both looks and character.
Every line has its strengths, and every family’s needs are different. At Vom Geliebten Haus, we are dedicated to the West German Show Line, with its deep mahogany colors, solid temperament, and ability to excel as both family companions and in sport.
Whichever line you admire, the German Shepherd Dog remains loyal, courageous, and deeply bonded to its people—a true lifelong companion.
