I love dogs, and this is the first I am hearing about them in my life...
So I was very shocked to learn:
The name Alsatian comes from the German/French border area of Alsace-Lorraine; however, the original name of the dog is German Shepherd dog. These two names have caused confusion over the years as some people think it's a different dog breed. But in fact, the Alsatian and German Shepherd Dog is the same breed of dog.
