Are we talking about German shepherds that come from Holland? Or, is this a different breed? I know at ARBA I used to judge the East German shepherd. That dog had a different standard that called for more aggression than the American shepherd. Evan. In a message dated 5/28/2014 7:10:37 A.M.

The breed has been around far longer than GSDs by the way. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2014.
