Because the title of the dog breed is “German Shepherd”. A “German shepherd” is a shepherd that is German. Notice the capitalization.

All breeds really should be capitalized. Perhaps I’m just biased, but that’s how they do it in the AKC world. It helps stand it out, too.

The breed name is German Shepherd Dog. This is Major, a Long Coated GSD, linebred from Sieger VA1 Zamb von der Wienerau.
