AKC judges mostly want you to show the teeth...last AKC show, the judge wanted me to open her mouth like a alligator!! Which was a first.

There are many people across many breeds who show in both AKC & UKC. The atmosphere is a bit more relaxed- no paid handlers are allowed so that takes quite a bit of stress off! Most dogs are owner handled or breeder handled in UKC. GSDs are judged a bit differently in UKC: less emphasis is placed on side gait; coming & going is equally important in movement as side gait is. An adult dog will not do well if they do not allow the complete exam- however, most UKC judges have the exhibitor show the bite & teeth, then move on to going over the dog. While the classes are different (pay attention so you end up in the right one!), once you are in the ring it's just about like any other conformation show. Good luck!
