German Shepherd Herding Dogs. German Shepherds are the prototypical herding dogs. With their innate instincts honed, a single dog can easily manage and protect flocks of over 100 sheep. A herding dog prospect is intelligent, athletic, responds to the biddings of his owner, and is not easily distracted.
In 1913 the German Shepherd Dog Club of America was formed by Benjamin Throop and Anne Tracy, with 26 charter members. The German Shepherd Dog Club of America's first specialty show was at Greenwich, Connecticut in 1915. In 1917, when America entered World War I, all things German became tabu. The American Kennel Club changed the name of the breed to the Shepherd Dog and the German Shepherd Dog Club of America became the Shepherd Dog Club of America. In England, the name of the breed was changed to the Alsatian.
