My dog Forrest. / A composited digital image of 1 shot used in 2 different ways. Featured in Cats and Dogs – October 21, 2009 ____ The German Shepherd Origins: / In Europe, during the 1800s, dog breeds were beginning to be standardized. The dogs were bred to preserve traits that assisted in their job of herding sheep and protecting flocks from predators. In Germany this was done within local communities, with the shepherds selecting and breeding dogs together that they believed had good traits, such as intelligence, strength and keen senses of smell. The result was dogs that were able to perform admirably in their task but that differed significantly, both in appearance and ability, across localities. To combat this, the Phylax Society was formed in 1891 with the intention of creating standardised dog breeds in Germany. The society disbanded after only three years due to an ongoing, in-house conflict regarding the traits that the society should promote; some members believed dogs should be bred solely for working purposes while others believed dogs should also be bred for appearance. While unsuccessful in their goal, the Phylax Society had inspired people to independently pursue standardising dog breeds. Max von Stephanitz, an ex-cavalry captain and former student of the Berlin Veterinary College, was one such ex-member. He believed strongly that dogs should be bred for working. In 1899, Von Stephanitz was attending a show when he was shown a dog named Hektor Linksrhein. Hektor was the product of many generations of selective breeding and completely fulfilled what Von Stephanitz believed a working dog should be, he was pleased with the strength of the dog and was so taken by the animal’s intelligence and loyalty that he purchased it immediately. After purchasing the dog he changed its name to Horand von Grafrath and founded the the Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde (Society for the German Shepherd Dog). Horand was declared to be the first German Shepherd Dog and was the first dog added to the society’s breed register. Horand became the centre-point of the society’s breeding programs and was bred with dogs belonging to other society members that displayed desirable traits. Although fathering many pups, Horand’s most successful was Hektor von Schwaben. Hektor was inbred with another of Horand’s offspring and produced Beowulf, who later fathered a total of 84 pups, mostly through being inbred with Hektor’s other offspring. Beowulf’s progeny were also inbred and it is from these pups that all German Shepherds draw a genetic link. It is believed the society accomplished its goal mostly due to Von Stephanitz’s strong, uncompromising leadership and he is therefore credited with being the creator of the German Shepherd Dog. Intelligence: / Shepherds were specifically bred for their intelligence, a trait for which they are now renowned. They are considered to be the third most intelligent breed of dog, behind Border Collies and Poodles. In the book The Intelligence of Dogs, author Stanley Coren ranked the breed third for intelligence. He found that they had the ability to learn simple tasks after only five repetitions and obeyed the first command given 95% of the time. This trait makes the breed desirable as Police, guard and rescue dogs. Temperament: / German Shepherds are highly active dogs, fearless but not hostile and are often described in breed standards as self-assured and never shy. The breed is marked by a willingness to learn and an eagerness to have a purpose. Shepherds can become over-protective of their family and territory, especially if not socialised correctly. Due to their loyal nature Shepherds bond well with children they know. While typically approachable, Shepherds do not become immediate friends with strangers. German Shepherds are highly obedient and not easily distracted, but due to their self-strong will must be trained by a firm hand.
