He looks a nice dog. I always get in trouble with my mate when I call his dog an alsatian. Is it something to do with one being hairier than the other? Nice kilt by the way.

That was my impression as well Phil. I know that the Police dogs here use are called Alsatians, not German Shepherds and they are generally hairier than my old dogs, who were German Shepherds. I always thought that they were a slightly different breed.
On the American Kennel Club website they classify the dog this way:
German Shepherd Dog (Alsatian)
So I really do not know why it would be more proper to call him a German Shepherd. Does anyone know?
I can only think they got a bad name a while ago and I think it was because they were so popular. People started breeding them willy-nilly and the quality went down the drain. The original dog came from Alsace on the German/French border hence the name.
Would these be the dog days of Summer for you then, Derek?
