German  Sherperd

The German Shepherd is a breed of medium to large-sizedworking dog that originated in Germany. The

breed's officially recognized name is German Shepherd Dog in the English language, sometimes

abbreviated as GSD and was also formerly known as the Alsatian in Britain. The German Shepherd is 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 disability assistance, search-and-rescue, police and

military roles, and even acting.

Apperence:

Standard height at thewithers is 60–65 cm (24–26 in) for males and 55–60 cm (22–24 in) for females. The

weight standard is 30–40 kilograms (66–88 lb) for males and 22–32 kilograms (49–71 lb) for females.They

have a domed forehead, a long square-cut muzzle and a black nose. The jaws are strong, with a scissor-like

bite.

German Shepherds have a variety of colors, the most common of which are tan/black and red/black. Most

color varieties have black masks and black body markings which can range from a classic "saddle" to an

over-all "blanket." Rarer colour variations include the sable, pure-black, pure-white, liver and blue

varieties. The all-black and sable varieties are acceptable according to most standards; however, the blue

and liver are considered to be serious faults and the all-white is grounds for instant disqualification from

showing in conformation at All Breed and Specialty Shows.[14]
