Tge price for all puppies is NEGOCIABLE The German Shepherd is one of the most versatile, well-recognized, and popular dog breeds in the world. The modern German Shepherd is descended from a family of various German herding dogs.
Breed standards were not developed until the late 19th century when Captain Max von Stephanitz, a German cavalry officer, worked with Arthur Meyer and other breeders to develop the ideal German herding dog.
They selectively bred strains of German herding dogs from the central and northern districts of Germany to create what would lead to today’s German Shepherd. Stephanitz and Meyer wrote the breed standard in 1899 and the American Kennel Club recognized the German Shepherd as a member of the Herding Group in 1908.
Although they were originally bred as herding dogs, they were also bred for versatility, which made the German Shepherd an all-around working dog that could excel in a variety of applications. German Shepherds are one of the common dog breeds employed in K-9 units in both police and military applications. They also make great service dogs and, of course, are still awesome herding dogs and farm dogs!
