Breed: Black German Shepherd
Temperament: loyal, watchful and self assured
Lifespan: 12 – 15 years
Maintenance: low (short coat), medium (long coat)
Recommended for: obedience enthusiasts, big dog lovers
History
The origins of the German Shepherd, be it black, white or black and gold extend back to late nineteenth century Germany. The dog evolved from herding dogs used to tend and protect sheep and over time the breed became extremely popular, especially as guard, police and military dogs.
German Shepherds first arrived in Australia between 1923 and 1929. Despite import bans once imposed because the breed was believed to be too vicious, the German Shepherd remains one of the most popular breeds in Australia today. Breeders say that many Australian black German Shepherds are descendent to a dog called ‘Satan’ which was imported from Germany approximately 20 years ago. It is estimated that there are about 200-300 black German Shepherds in Australia.
Unlike the white German Shepherd, there is nothing to exempt black German Shepherds from being shown next to the regular type. White German Shepherds are not permitted to be fully registered and are considered a ‘fault’.
Appearance
Distinct variations exist between the black and regular German Shepherd.
The black type has retained the more traditional conformation of the breed. Often larger than the regular breed of German Shepherd, the black variety possesses a much straighter back and doesn’t take on the ‘cringing’ appearance common to the regular German Shepherd variety. The coat length may be either short, long or ‘glamour’ – with a flowing mane, skirting and feathering.
Temperament
The dogs featured on this road test appeared to have a stable and pleasant temperament. Responsible breeders say they are mindful of the reputation which shepherds have earned in the past and are confident that the black German Shepherd’s temperament is sound. Regardless, it is always important to try and evaluate a puppie’s temperament before purchase. Only buy from a recommended breeder and always inspect the adults and puppies before purchase. The New South Wales German Shepherd Dog League is one organisation which has made great advances in improving the temperament of this breed.
German Shepherds are known to be loyal, self assured and watchful and will show little tendency to back down. They should not be anxious or wary. German Shepherds are very trainable and should be exposed to other dogs from an early age.
