The German
Shepherd Dog, Partner to Mankind
The German Shepherd breed today is a far cry from the original
flock dogs used in Germany in earlier times. Sheep
herding dogs were a necessary part of the German agricultural
scenes and were quite a mixed lot. It wasn't until the
formation of a group known as the Association for German
Sheepdogs SV, (now a large group of fanciers numbering more
than 50,000) that a more uniform dog began to evolve.
German Shepherds:
The Versatile Working Dogs
The Alsatian, commonly known as the German Shepherd Dog, is a
working dog breed that often acts as military dogs, guard dogs,
police dogs, or search and rescue dogs. They are used
because they can be trained in protection and obedience easily
and they like to please their owners.
