FABULOUS PRICES
FOR SHEPHERD DOGS
German Dealers Taking Ad-
vantage Of Great Demand
Here for the Breed.
ny FRANK II. DOLE.

A letter / received from Germany
leads me to believe America has gone
wild over the German shepherd dog and
has thus become the easiest prey i'm
aginable for the German dealers, who
are hurrying to make hay while the sun
shines. or before the American pur-
chasers become aware Of real conditions.
The unusual letter from a German
breeder suggested that I post with a
German bank the sum of $4,000. In ex-
change for which the breeder would sell
me four puppies which could sell and
doubtless make handsome profit.
Something evidently has given Ger
man breeders the impression that their
dogs bring fabulous prices here, and
they are anxious to get their share. ]
met Judge George Silzer shortly after l
received this letter. He had just re-
turned from Germany. and said that it
was possible to ret = good shepherd dog
there for SIS or $50. Hero is a man
who Is willing to sell me four for $4,000.
I can only surmise this condition is
the result OF extensive cabling from
American importers ordering dogs. !
hope the day IS near when the American
breeders will be able to breed their own
police dogs. Certainly they have already
imported many OF the best German dogs,
and there is no reason why they should
not be able to breed from them Just as
well as the Germans.
One Of Methods Used.
Only recently received from an ex-
tremely reliable source the report Of a
dog being placed over superior animals
In a German show merely to catch the
American dollar. It was the intention
to sell this dog at an enhanced price be-
cause Of this victory and keep the truly
better dog in Germany. 1t would be
we'll for any one who is importing these
dogs or sending money to Germany to
be extremely careful with whom he Is
dealing.
There is no question that the German

HES ON THE LINKS COLLEGE CROSS-COUNTRY RUNS

shepherd dog Is only In his infancy here
but we should be just as able to bxesS
champions In the United States a. 90
German breeders are on the other siGs
of the Atlantic The champions In d.
breed should come from American
breeding az true as In the wire-ha1red
fox terriers and the bun terriers. In
both these breeds American breeders,
once active. were soon in the lead. Re-
Gently az one OF the btk showA a0
American bred puppy went to reserve
winners over q number Of imported
shepherds.
Much of the credit for the rapid
strides the shepherd has made goes to
the publicity given the breed by the
Shepherd Dog Club Of America. They
have been pushing the breed consistent
ly and wisely. AID the popularity OF the
animals has increased wonderfully. IL
all the dog people would get together
and organize one central publicity bu-
reau 1t would do more to put a good
dog In every American home than All
tho shows in the world. The average
breeder, however, hates to spend his
money for publicity.
Another handicap on the rapid devel-
opnent of a breed is the high stud fees
on imported dogs. particularly the snep-
herds. There are many instances where
imported dogs bring as high as $300 at
stud. This Is in marked contrast with.
for instance. the only truly American
dog, the Boston terrier. 1t has been the
policy OF the Boston terrier owners 70
take a low fee for the advancement oE
the breed. A Boston which Is valued
at $4,000 only gets fee Of SIS. but

has done anything on the bench or In
the field, brings from SIS to $3.50, and
q real champion even higher.
should Fix stud Fees.
This Is In sharp contrast with the
English stud fees, which are less than
q. quarter Of ours. That Is one OF the
reasons why the English have done SO
much with dogs. The same Is true I'm
Canada. Here, however. the CONNER
ciaiisn1 in breeding Is astonishing. 10
strikes me IL IS about. time breeders got
together and fixed a reasonable stud fess
Recently I asked a shepherd breeder
why he put such high fee on one OF
his dogs He replied, "I don't want to
see my dogs pups running all around"
1t struck me at the time that was q
mighty selfish attitude. II there Is to
be such lack of sportsmanship as that.
people will continue to pay exorbitant
prices for imported dogs. There isn't
a bit Of question that you will find more
good ones among 500 dogs than you
WIN among fifty and the more dogs
bred the better the chances OF getting
champions.
