re: Post a random fact or piece of trivia in this thread

The German Shepard was called an "Alsation" during war time. The breed was used by both sides to fight during world war 1 But the British/French didn’t want to call their dogs German so they decided on the name "Alsatian” named after a French province. After world war 2 the Brits changed the name back to German Shepherd Dog however there are still countries/people in Europe who still refer to it exclusively as an "Alsation" today.
