I was wondering is there really big different in temperament between two dogs?
I would prefer show line gsd, but I read some people said that show line gsd is more prone to hip problems(?) not sure about it.
Ya i think so coz d showline spinal curvature is different from the working line. Therefore d showline will have a weaker back n hinds compre to working line.
N i think they will get injured easily, i always touched my gsd's back n i find it pretty fragile as in it will break if anyone were to hit it or imagine if he wrre to get a fall flat on d back i think that will cause a great damage to d back. Jus my imagination base on wat i felt from my gsd.
Temperament wise i think it depends on how pure d breed is. Gsd in nature is very protective, fierce towrds strangers, and they get jealous easily. They need n want ur full attention on them and r very sticky to d owner. Eg: like my gsd, if others were to bring him away from me he will resist. There was once a trainer took him out from my home, he resisted didnt want to exit my house door, until i get out from d door n told him to come then he followed. And when d trainer was trying to train him, my gsd kept looking at me n not focusing on d training. He just cant seem to be parted from me. Very loveable. Hehehe. Just gave me a secure n peaceful feeling that im so loved by my dog. Wakakak..
I have another dog which i adopted from d roadside, my gsd often fight w him when i scold the other dog, my gsd will always scold him after i scolded him n tried to act king in d hse. And whenever i play with that dog my gsd will be jealous he will not like it n will make angry sound.
working line shud be more active comparing to show line perhaps. As they r meant for working purposes they shud have higher drive though.
Im not so pro anyway but these r merely my thoughts n my understanding abt gsd's.
Maybe u cud do a read up on the net to find out more.
