The German Shepherd or Wolfhound is a breed of dog that is believed to have originated through the domestication of the wolf. Consideration takes into account similarities in overall appearance. The specialized literature mentions the use of this dog from ancient times by German shepherds, the breed showing great variability in terms of morphological features from one region to another, adapting to climate and climatic conditions or changing its waist, speed of movement for areas of plains, or having a larger waist for those of mountain origin. It was found that there were numerous matings between sheepdogs and wolves, the offspring being domesticated and used for guarding. In the 1880s the Germans modified this breed to serve as a military dog.

Towards the end of the 18th century, the same non-uniformity of the biological material was observed until the 1899 exhibition in Karlsruhe, where the "German Shepherd Association" was established. The initiators and promoters of this association were A. Meyer, a cavalry captain, and Max von Stephanitz, who was also elected the first president of the newly established forum.
