G- German
S- Shepherd D- Dog There are Dutch shepherd dogs, as well as Belgian/Belgium shepherds (malinois, groenendael, etc). But those are seperate breeds.

Probably carried over from the actual German word, which includes "dog".

eh, almost everyone refers to their german shepherd as a gsd, dutchie owners write ds belgian shepherds i guess don't write i own a "BS" dog for good reason. but still are gsd owners confusing their gs with something other than a dog and have to make that clear to everyone?

I don't like the look of "GS" personally, either. In my eyes, "GSD" looks more correct simply because it's the full/correct translation. I've never thought it redundant.

Why so argumentative? lol
It's Deutsche Schaeferhund, so the translation to GSD is accurate. Who knows why it caught on? But that's what it's always been called.
