I don't know but he is sure handsome.

Do you have a pedigree for him?

Could you explain the things you look for to tell the difference? Not just for the OP's dog, but in general. Just curious about the main differences. Thanks.

Given the location I would say probably west German show line.

Unfortunately no. I got him from a man who breeds and trains them as guard dogs (he is retired military police dog trainer). I want to know because of my curiosity mostly,I do not have plans for dog shows. I didn't know there are so many different lines of one breed,and living in small country one can't see many different lines. Sorry for bad english.

I agree with Lies. German show lines.

**Andaka** · 03-09-2013, 05:05 PM

German show lines would be my guess as well.

Where is the German show lines coming from? I don't see the sloping back. And I thought he had a few other non-conforming things.

Floppy ears and too long tail.
