What is the alternative name of a German Shepherd dog?

I owned 4 Alsatian dogs within my life and they are very intelligent and very friendly animals. I loved them very dearly and I miss them now too.

I trained and worked this breed for many years and never knew this.

Manel, extremely sad to lose our four legged furbaby...it's family

I had a German shepherd & an Alsatian, I always thought they were slightly different, beautiful dogs though, I miss them so much

German shepherds are very intelligent and beautiful dogs
