Past and Present Breeders
Below is a list of breeders that are breeding or have bred DDR line GSD, some may no longer breed or are now incorporating other lines into their breeding program.
The list was compiled from another topic on this forum by a forum member Valk. I have added a few more to the list and I have not added many USA or Canadian breeders as these can easily be found by doing a simple search online.

So many dispute the current DDR GSD, and to an extent many do breed them or purchase them for the DDR wow factor and that is mainly for their looks and big bones.
To say there is no longer a DDR or East German GSD, we may as well say there is no West German working/show line because Germany is now one country. We should no longer say Siamese cat or Burmese cat and what about the Rhodesian Ridgeback?
It is unfortunate that the DDR bloodline is getting thin and before long it may become a distant memory of a long and forgotten type.
Probably the only way to preserve the DDR type is to introduce other lines into the mix as it seems a lot of good breeders are now doing but can we then say that they are DDR? Probably not.
We should not be concerned as to what name or what type that we say a particular line of GSD is but to never forget that the GSD is and always will be.
A GSD is a GSD is a GSD and each to their own.
