A Year-End Reflection on the Old-Type DDR German Shepherd

As 2025 comes to an end, I wanted to share a few honest thoughts about the current state of the old-type DDR German Shepherd Dog. True DDR dogs are now rare, confined to limited gene pools, and often misunderstood—sometimes deliberately so. Despite this, their history, structure, and working character still matter. This video is both a reflection and a continuation. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to good discussion on this channel over time. I’ll leave you with some personal footage from my breeding days—Nala in the snow.
