What was the breed temporarily called in Britain during World War I?

Alsatian Wolf Dog

During the period of World War I, political and anti-German sentiment ran high, particularly in English-speaking nations. This atmosphere directly influenced the perception and acceptance of the breed in countries like Britain. Consequently, the breed underwent a formal name change in such locations; in Britain, for a time, they were known specifically as the Alsatian Wolf Dog. This renaming highlights how geopolitical factors significantly affected the nomenclature and initial acceptance of the dogs outside their country of origin, even as the physical dogs continued to be established as working and companion animals.
