Wir streichen einfach ein „l“ aus euren ganzen -willers und fügen ein „e“ hinzu. Ansonsten verändert sich ja nichts…. Vorerst

In German those dogs are called "Deutsche Schäferhunde", which literally translates to "German shepherd dogs". My guess is, that this was simplified to just "german shepherds" over time.

In dog breeding/training circles, people still say "German Shepherd Dog" fairly often, even though you can just omit the "Dog" part in casual conversation. The initialism "GSD" is extremely common, too.

[–] silva@beehaw.org 11 points 2 years ago

No, he is saying 'No mercy, my children!'

I mean tbf the knife guy probably still got off easy compared to if a working line German Shepherd dog came through that door.

sometimes I feel like I see German everywhere and that I should learn it, but then I remember it's mostly just on lemmy/reddit
