Maybe someone can help me with this topic, and let me know how close I am. I am just trying to get a better handle of this. This is the way I have understood it to be. By no means do I claim to know much about this, but am trying to put it together in my mind as to how the different lines have come to be. Please feel free to make changes and correct me where I have made an error. Again I do not know that much about German history and just a little more about German Shepherd history.
Thanks
Timeline of German Shepherd Types
1889- The German Shepherd is developed.
World War I – German shepherds are used.
World War II – East and West Germany split. German shepherds are also split, East (DDR) and West
German shepherds. Czechoslovakia also has their German shepherds. East Germany &
Czechoslovakia are communist. German shepherds are used to guard the borders.
After WWI - German shepherds come to America. Start of the American shepherd.
1960’s – Czech imports DDR shepherds from East Germany (DDR) to breed with their shepherds for
border patrol work..
1970’s – West Germany’s shepherds split into show-line & working-line.
1980’s – East Germany & Czechoslovakia are no longer communist. Berlin wall comes down.
There is no longer a DDR. Czechoslovakia splits and is now the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
German shepherds are continued bred in these countries.
Present – Some lines are mixed. Others try to hang on to pure bloodlines.
