German Shepard's can be A.K.C. or U.K.C..
A.K.C. gets more raised human snouts about it ; but has a more starched approach as to who's who among breeds too.
We freeze the bulldogs kibble after the bag has been opened a while. Never mind it is rolled shut and clamped and put in a securely lidded container between uses prior.. to reduce dust mites. He'll chew his feet if he ingests many. I know that reads weird.
I don't study shepherds but recall watching some in show rings. Bear in mind I used to hunt with varied breeds and a show ring means little to me after a show...
But the "older" Shepard lines have a slink to them a lot of newer lines don't exhibit as much. (Don't quote me or start a fight over it please. I just watch. And relatively few German Shepard's.).
Not a submissive slink but a way of moving posture..
I do recall a German mans Shepard in my youth a block or so away that used to visit. It knew German spoken at home. But you already know it can be day and night in what is called a German Shepard.
Let alone what's going on inside one and what is being projected from within the dog.
Here's a cousin of sorts to Dakota.
