The German Shepherd

The German Shepherd formerly known as Alsatian and Alsatian Wolf Dog in Britain is a breed of large-sized dog that originated in Germany.German Shepherds are a relatively new breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899. As part of the Herding Group, German Shepherds are working dogs developed originally for herding sheep. Since that time, however, because of their strength, intelligence, trainability and obedience, German Shepherds around the world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including search-and-rescue, police and military roles and even acting.
