:mmm: How do I answer this one?
As I understand it, German shepherd Dogs was their original name, but due to the same strong anti-German Feelings after the First World War that caused the Von Batten bergs to change their names to Mount Batten, their name was changed to Alsatians, from the region Alsatia (which I gather is German anyway)
So to answer this one ... German Shepherd Dogs were once called Alsatians, and still are by many people.
:mmm: Fact
