A.K.C. Breed Standard

History:One of the most versatile breeds, the German Shepherd Dog probably originated from crosses of several shepherd breeds in Germany. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service and in the military. The German Shepherd also excels many other dog activities including Schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in pipes buried 15 feet underground. The German Shepherd is also a popular show dog and family companion. Description: An athletic, agile, muscular dog, longer than tall, with a smoothly curved outline. Ruggedly noble, with a regal head and longish muzzle. The ears are erect, triangular and open to the front. The nose is black (or else the dog is disqualified from showing). The dark eyes are medium-sized and almond-shaped. The teeth should meet in a scissors bite. The long saber tail is bushy and hangs down at least to the hock. The front legs are straight. Dewclaws on the front legs are generally left on though those on the back legs are removed. The dense double coat lies close and straight. Any colors except white, liver or blue are acceptable. It's best if the colors are strong. The ideal weight is not described in the standard.
