German Shepherd?
A DDR German Shepherd Dog is a German Shepherd from the Deutsche Demokratishe Republik, also known as East Germany. At the start of WW2, the German Shepherd dog became very popular in Germany. Unfortunately, during the war, many of the dogs were recruited into the military and did not survive due to the unavailability of food supplies. At the end of WW2, the capital city of Berlin was divided into the East the the west zone by the Berlin Wall. East Berlin and East Germany remained under communist control until November 9, 1989 when the Berlin Wall was opened. Prior to the time, east German Dogs were kept isolated from West German Dogs and dogs from surrounding countries. Therefore, they retained their own distinct characteristics.
The DDR / East German Dogs are lean, strong and capable of working in many different environments. They are known for their dark pigmentation, heavy bone structure and big blocky head. They also have a low incident of hip dysplasia. These dogs are well suited for Schutzhund, police work, search and rescue as well as a great family pet. |
