Dogs have all the good attributes of humans but none of their deficits.
The first German shepherd was the result of an encounter of Rittmeister Max von Stephanitz with a man, who owned two Shepherd dogs that impressed him with their obedient behavior as well as their ability to work. That shepherd, however, declined, since no amount of money could replace his dogs. Somewhat infected with the idea to own one of these smart dogs, Stephanitz attempted to buy one somewhere else, only to find out that there were hardly two dogs around that looked alike. Therefore he created a standard personified in the first official German shepherd name Horand von Grafrath . The dog was introduced on April 22nd 1899 on a dog show in Karlsruhe in South-Western Germany.
