I like them both, you can find good solid showlines. To me a good dog is a good dog, I don't care if it is showline or working line.
A good dog is a good dog, but when i'm looking for that good dog, I look at working lines. I just like how their built better
Working lines off course, but then I like hair shirts, sand in my shorts and flagellating myself with a leather patrol lead
I'm trying to figure out the Poll thing, not sure if the Mods can do it either....
Working lines,especially czech and ddr....
Working lines. All are born and bred in the USA. I have actually never owned an imported dog.
Workingline....emma was born in North Carolina, and moved to Kentucky with us when she was 8 weeks old.
Working lines- born in the US

Me too.
My new pup is 3/4 DDR and 1/4 Czech.

My 10yo female is mostly West German working lines with a little american thrown in. (Though not american SHOW lines, she has several police K-9s and herding dogs.)

If your pup is not bred in the US or importated, what does that leave?
OK I'm going way out there with this one............. American Showlines born here in the US LOL

I own and prefer the West German Showlines.

Mine was born in the U.S.A. 3 out of the 4 grandparents were German imports.

Oh, and my preference is working lines too.

Never even cared for German Shepherds until I discovered working lines. My first reactions was:
Huh? What kind of dogs are those?

Then my next reaction was:
Wow!!!!!

I prefer working but also like some German show lines (I like Kirschental dogs, for example).

My GSD is working line, bred in the USA. I believe the sire was an import. I doubt I'll ever import a dog. That's so expensive and there are decent breeders here that produce what I like.
Working lines.

We've had 3 imported dogs, two imported as adults and one as a youngster, but most of ours have been US born and bred.

Yeah... I went straight to the source for my pups.

The question itself left off others. What about Canadians? They have their own lines. And those in England too. We have Phillipines here, Ireland, Australia, Malaysia and The Netherlands. So several people were left out of the question unless the question was just for those living in the US.


but I had to laugh at your response to my answer mjb03.

Working lines. Flash was conceived in Germany to German born sire and dam, whelped in Oklahoma! Cheaper than importing.
