 if you liked that demonstration, google "Essex Dog Training Team", they have a lot of these routines.

 

not really interested. if you saw one of them, you have seen all.

old chronicles more interesting. particularly ones which allows to do comparison. like those above, where one can see that back then white and liver colored shepherds wasn't yet regected and was used for services at least in GB.

curious how it was in US military at same years?

here is another, even older documentary of War Department of US

Re whites and livers, it depends what you mean by "rejected". In the UK in 1962 you could not take a white or liver dog into a Showring; that did not mean they never cropped up occasionally and it didn't mean they could not be either (a) useful to Police and armed services etc, as in the film, or (b) be someone's beloved companion. Pretty much the same as now, actually. Only difference was that in those days the off colours stood perhaps a higher chance of being bred on. Not impossible now, either, courtesy of our Kennel Club rules, itself not being a member of the SV or the FCI.
I never heard of a Police Dog Section here that would turn a good 'gift dog' - or a puppy - down purely on its colour. Police generally don't like whites so much because they stand out more visibly on night patrols.  Can't speak for all the other UK services, where that may be less of a problem for them.

Those are not 'Alsatians' as we know them today ! They are German Shepherd Dogs, being called here a.k.a 'Alsatians' not long after the moniker "Alsatian Wolf Dogs" was dropped - & much like early stock the world over in the 20s & 30s. The 'AWD /Alsatian' crap was to avoid calling them "German" anything, in the wake of WWl.

Modern coffee table dog still referred to by some of its devotees as an Alsatian is a bulkier version, developed over the late 1950s onwards, whose UK breeders failed, in the main, to regard as relevant any instructions about body angles and working ability which came from Germany, ie Max & the SV. Aided & abetted by those at the top of the Show Scene here and the Kennel Club power 'tree'.

LOVED this video, one which I had never seen before, well done Val for finding it, TY !
My life, the clothes !!! That padded coat !!! Wonderful stuff. And so nice to see the Crystal Palace as it looked standing, before it burnt down a dozen years later. I have walked where that film was shot.

Wonder why one man had 3 dogs to handle ? Any old timers (older than me !) recognise anyone in the film ?

She is a real Houdini LightbulbDog ... and doesn't she look pleased with herself as she skips away outside the fence.

 

Handler with 3 dogs AND a ciggie could have done with having the arms of an octopus !
