The tiger denotes a stroke from the group of old German herding dogs . The term Old German Shepherd Dogs is a generic term under which the various beats are summarized. A recognition as a breed by the FCI is by definition out of the question for this loft.
Among the old German herding dogs, dogs with piebald, spotted or spotted fur are called tigers. The main distribution area is southern Germany . Depending on the color variant, a distinction is made between gray tigers (gray-black), red-tiger (red-black), white tiger (white-black) or three-colored tigers (black-gray with brown markings); white markings can and are common.
As with many working dogs, the appearance is not uniform: there are long-stick, curly and stick-haired, rough, wavy and shaggy-haired animals with erect or tilted ears with a withers of 50 to 65 cm. An important requirement for dogs of this breed is that they are eager to work and show good herding behavior.
The mating of tigers with each other is not permitted, as the occurrence of the negative consequences of the merle factor should be avoided. Tigers , mediated by black and yellow cheeks of the South German type , are comparatively common; they practically do not occur in the East and Central German Old Germans .
