German Shepherds, those intelligent, courageous, and versatile dogs, ranked third on the AKC list of Top Ten Dog Breeds for 2008. Present day, German Shepherds, sometimes referred to as Alsatians, make wonderful family pets while many work in respected fields including police, military, search and rescue, and assistance for the disabled.
First Shepherd Dogs
The dream for the German Shepherd breed was born in the early 1890s in the mountainous sheep pastures of Germany where Max Emil Frederick von Stephanitz envisioned a medium sized, agile dog who could handle and protect the sheep flocks there. Sheep herding dogs were the true working dogs at that time and, although there was no established breed consistency, all dogs used for tending sheep were called Shepherds.
Max von Stephanitz served with the Veterinary College in Berlin as a young cavalry officer and had a great interest in developing dog breeds. As he observed local shepherds’ dogs herding flocks, he vowed to establish a utility breed called the German Shepherd. It would be intelligent, able to reason, agile, trustworthy in temperament, strong, and protective if necessary.
