Here is a photo of some GSD's taking a break from pack work. Two in the group are mine (my female was taking care of puppies so she couldn't join ) There are actually 9 GSD's, a Malinois and a Lab mix in this photo!
Some of these dogs are working through social challenges, while others are there to have fun and help balance the energy.
This was taken at my breeders place in Alaska. I drive over 4 times a year (12-14 hours each way) to train dogs, do protection (no club here), compete and hang out with my breeders, who are now best friends. We met when she sold me my female and have been awesome friends ever since.

Wonderful picture, yes! I'm very impressed.
But why are some dogs with muzzles and others not? Do the muzzled ones instigate struggles and the other ones are more peaceful?

Love it! Super tough dogs I'm sure but I still can't help but to think I just want to jump into them as a pile and squeeze their guts! (Every now and again I can't help but to treat my big guy like a giant teddy bear...but I know that's not his "role". :-)

They are either new to the pack, so still under "observation", or struggling through challenges. Just because they aren't muzzled doesn't mean they don't have challenges, but the two of the intact males (My black GSD, and the Mali) are harder dogs, so may blow off a hard correction.
This was the beginning of the pack work, shortly after this was taken, my male was able to go muzzle free. He dislikes labs particularly as well as puppies, both of which are in this pack. After balancing the Lab and puppy, he was ok to be unmuzzled around them and was very much neutral to them, they were also respectful of him.
