What is the difference between a long haired German Shepherd and a short haired one? The long-haired German Shepherd has a longer outer layer of hard hair and slightly less fleece, which makes it slightly less able to withstand the cold, while the short-haired has a slightly higher ability to withstand the cold. The West German Shepherd is a long-haired German Shepherd with a moderately long tail, while the East German Shepherd is a short-haired one with a shorter tail. The German Shepherd’s hair is very layered, divided into two layers, the first layer is, relatively long hard hair, the second layer is close to the skin of the small fleece. And what we call long hair is the outside of this layer of hard hair is a little longer, the fleece will become slightly less children, the ability to protect against the cold will be slightly lower, and vice versa the ability to protect against the cold will be slightly higher. In Germany, Berlin is divided into East Germany and West Germany, East German Shepherd is short-haired, West Germany is long-haired, this is a breed, two styles of dogs only. There is no difference in body size, just the length of the hair is different. Generally speaking, the old version of the West German Shepherd has compact bones, a chest body different from the modern German Shepherd, the earliest German Shepherd, light movement, moderate tail length, while the pure East German Shepherd has thick bones (commonly known as “double ridge back”) and a short tail.
