What ??? Are you sure what you are looking at ?
There would be a huge gap of almost 1/2 of the teeth on each side if
premolars were missing. These are the teeth that do the meat cutting and
sawing action whereas the molars are the bone crushers and the canines tear
and the incisors pull meat off a bone.

Good Grief !
In all my 47+ years in GSDs I have NEVER seen what you describe.

My 11 y/o senior German guy has them, my 4 y/o Canadian show dog ( bred for
that anyway ) doesn't, neither does my 2 y/o BYB that is half Canadian show
lines.
Started opening mouths at the rescue....only 3 out of 12 have them. ( 2 of
those come from 100% show lines ) .
Then I went to work. ( a senior sanctuary/hospice) that has mostly Canadian All
Breeds. *grin* NONE of them had them. 24 dogs.....2 being PB Danes, 1 PB
Beagle, 1 Bloodhound, 1 Rough Collie.
What's going on I'm wondering??
My Dad is a retired V.P.D. and R.C.M.P. dog handler.........so I asked him to
contact his old partner's son, who is a now handler and ask about pre molars. (
and others things ) According to him, while a full bite is a must, pre molars
do not make a dent, so's to speak, so is not a necessary requisite. He said
most do not have pre molars!
Here's a link that may be of interest to we Canadians:
