The '''German Shepherd Dog''' ('''GSD'''), ({{lang-de|Deutscher Schäferhund}}) is a breed of large-sized dog that originates from [[Germany]].<ref name="german-culture">{{cite web |url=http://www.germanculture.com.ua/library/weekly/german_shepherds.htm |title=German Shepherd&nbsp;— The Ultimate Service Dog |accessdate=2008-07-15 |work= |publisher=German Culture}}</ref> German Shepherds are a fairly new breed of [[dog]], with their origins only dating back to 1899. Part of the herding group, shepherds are working dogs developed originally for herding sheep. Their strength, intelligence and obedience often sees them employed in police and military roles in forces around the world.<ref name="intelligenceofdogs">Coren, p.134</ref> They are popular as pets and guard dogs because of their loyal and protective nature.<ref>Rice, p.8</ref>

==Interesting Wikipedia Articles==
In Europe, during the 1800s, dog breeds were beginning to be standardized.<ref name="gsd-history">{{cite web |url=http://www.germanshepherds.com/thegsd/history/ |title=History of the Breed |accessdate=2008-07-15 |work= |publisher=German Shepherds.com}}</ref> 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.<ref name="gsd-history" /> 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.<ref name="training-rice">Rice, p.11</ref> 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.<ref name="gsd-history"/> After purchasing the dog he changed its name to [[Horand von Grafrath]] and founded the [[Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde]] (Society for the German Shepherd Dog).<ref name="gsd-history"/> 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.<ref>Stevens, p.11</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pedigreedatabase.com/gsd/progeny/1183.html|title=Progency list for V Beowulf|publisher=Pedigree Database|accessdate=2008-08-14}}</ref> 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.<ref>Willis, p.5}}</ref>

=== Name ===
==User Boxes==
{| class="wikitable"

|-
The breed was named "Deutscher Schäferhund" by Von Stephanitz, literally translating to "German Shepherd Dog". The breed was named as such due its original purpose of assisting shepherds in herding and protecting sheep, at the time all other herding dogs in Germany were referred to by this name&nbsp;— they thus became known as ''Altdeutscher Schäferhunds'' or [[Old German Shepherd Dog]]s. Shepherds were first exported to Britain in 1908 and [[The Kennel Club]] began to recognise the breed in 1919. The direct translation of the name was adopted for use in the official breed registry. However, at the conclusion of [[World War I]] it was believed that the inclusion of the word "German" would harm the breed's popularity, due to the [[Anti-German_sentiment#World_War_I|anti-German sentiment]] of the era.<ref name="gsdhelpline">{{cite web |url=http://www.gsdhelpline.com/history.htm |title=A History of the German Shepherd Dog |accessdate=2008-07-15 |last=Forst |first=Rory |coauthors= |date= |work= |publisher=German Shepherd Dog Helpline}}</ref> The breed was officially renamed by the Kennel Club to "Alsatian Wolf Dog",{{Ref_label|A|a|none}} this name was also adopted by many other international kennel clubs. Later the name was changed again to "Alsatian" as the appendage "wolf dog" caused discontent after media capitalised on the name to run a scare campaign advertising that "half-wolves" had been let loose in Britain.<ref name="gsdhelpline" /> The name remained until 1977 when successful campaigns by dog enthusiasts pressured the kennel clubs to allow the breed to be again registered as German Shepherd Dogs.<ref name="german-culture" />

=== Modern breed ===
|-
The modern German Shepherd is criticised for straying away from von Stephanitz's original ideology for the breed that German Shepherds should be bred primarily as working dogs, and that breeding should be strictly controlled to quickly eliminate defects.{{Ref_label|B|b|none}} It is believed that careless breeding has promoted disease and other defects.<ref>Conan, p.43</ref> Under the breeding programs, overseen by von Stephanitz, defects were quickly bred out, however in modern times without regulation on breeding, genetic problems such as colour-paling, hip dysplasia, [[monorchidism]], weakness of temperament and missing teeth are common.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gsdcqld.org.au/The.History.of.the.German.Shepherd.Dog.htm |title=The History of the German Shepherd Dog |accessdate=2008-07-15 |work= |publisher=German Shepherd Dog Club Queensland}}</ref> It is important to note that there are two distinct branches to the German Shepherd bloodline. These being dogs bred for work, and dogs bred for show. Most of the issues related to disease and faulty temperament come from the indiscriminate breeding being undertaken by breeders of show dogs or back yard breeders. There are many good show dog breeders, but on the whole, show dogs tend to be much weaker in every area than their working counterparts, where much more care is taken with breeding programs and the desire to fulfil the true function of the German Shepherd as an outstanding utility dog. It is critical that this fine animal is not bred to look nice or have rear angulation, which ultimately weakens the dog, but rather to produce better working dogs for service in any area as was intended by Von Stephanitz.

German Shepherds can be a variety of colours, the most common of which are the tan and black and red and black varieties. Both varieties have black masks and saddles. Rarer variations include the sable, all-black, [[White Shepherd Dog|all-white]], liver and blue varieties. The all-black variety is acceptable; however, the blue and liver are considered to be serious faults and the all-white is grounds for instant disqualification in some standards.<ref name="akc-index">{{cite web |url=http://www.akc.org/breeds/german_shepherd_dog/index.cfm |title=German Shepherd Dog Breed Standard |accessdate=2008-07-15 |work= |publisher=American Kennel Club |date= }}</ref> This is because the white coat is more visible, making the dog a poor guard dog, and is harder to see in conditions such as snow.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cluebus.com/holly/gsdfaq.html#white |title=German Shepherd Dog FAQ - "Why is a white GSD disqualified from the show ring in many clubs?" |accessdate=2008-07-15 |work= |publisher= |date= |last=Stowe |first=Holly}}</ref>

German Shepherds sport a [[double coat]]. The outer coat, which is shed all year round, is close and dense with a thick undercoat. The coat is accepted in two variants; medium and long. The long-hair gene is [[Recessive gene|recessive]], making the long-hair variety rarer. Treatment of the long-hair variation differs across standards; they are accepted under the [[German Kennel Club|German]] and UK Kennel Clubs but are considered a fault in the American Kennel Club.<ref name="ukkc" /><ref name="akc-index" /><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vdh.de/rasse_beschreibung/159/ |title=Rasse-Lexikon Deutscher Schäferhund |accessdate=2008-07-15 |work= |publisher=Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen |date= |language=German}}</ref>

German Shepherds are highly active dogs, fearless but not hostile and are often described in breed standards as self-assured and never shy.<ref name="akc-index" /> 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nzkc.org.nz/br528.html|publisher=New Zealand Kennel Club|title=Breed Standard&nbsp;— German Shepherd|accessdate=2008-07-19|quote=While the dog should be approachable and friendly, he does not make immediate friendships with strangers.}}</ref> German Shepherds are highly obedient and not easily distracted, but due to their self-strong will must be trained by a firm hand.<ref>Cree, p.120-121</ref> Like most large breeds, Shepherds can be aggressive and uncontrollable if not trained correctly.
