differences between the German shepherds

Shepherd was originally bred in Germany
in 1899 the original aim was to develop
an extremely clever working dog and high
stakes were placed on their success from
the beginning on the other hand the
Belgian Shepherd was first bred some
years before the early 1890s they were
considered humble working dogs lacking
the same social prestige as the German
Shepherd it can be surprisingly hard to
identify these two Shepherd prints as
even within them there are many types of
variety according to the world’s canine
organization there are four varieties of
Belgian Shepherd the groin and down the
lacan wah the Malinois and the treviri
they are all considered part of the same
breeds but in conformation shows they’re
judged separately according to their
coat types and colors

German Shepherd the long-haired and the
short hair types besides red coat we can

willing to watch over people and
property and modern Belgian Shepherds

Shepherd and the belgian shepherd let’s
take a look into the lifespan and the
common health problems of each degree

something to do with the common health
issues of German shepherds which are due
to irresponsible breeding for
generations in the search for particular
aesthetic qualities for that reason

suffer hip dysplasia elbow dysplasia
