De Duitse herder

“Take this trouble for me: Make sure my shepherd dog remains a working dog, for I have struggled all my life long for that aim.”

“Remarkable in his unswerving Loyalty to his master, irrepressible in his high spirits, never idle, always in mothion, good-natured but not a flatterer, a constant pleasure to the eye…”

“We cannot tell from the exterior what value a dog has for breeding purposes, either from his expression, his body-build, or from his achievements.”

Rittmeister Capitain Max von Stephanitz (1868 – 1936).
