So in the event you're serious, I'm sure you realize that the vast majority of GSDs registered are not from American show lines. No, but that is also true of the other breeds as well. The AKC has us as the number one registered breed. I doubt that GSD people register more than other breeds. But, we are a popular breed. If anyone doubts that, talk to the public when they see your dogs. I am not sure I like being the most popular breed, be we have to accept it.
