Today the German Shepherd is known for being an excellent military and police dog. But the breeds roots are in herding. The German Shepherd herds in a style called tending. Because of the lack of fencing and hay bails German farmers had the need to fence in their working sheep, the GSD worked as a living fence. Tending their farmer’s sheep.

In Germany, German Shepherds are still used for herding sheep. They look a lot like the original German Shepherds back when the breed was created, nothing like modern show lines. They don't just herd, they also protect livestock fiercely. I once went hiking and stumbled upon two old-type German Shepherds working with a herd of sheep, they were not happy about me getting too close and "told" me in no uncertain terms to back off, or else! P.S. The traditional German way of herding you described is still very much alive!

@SeamHead33 2 года назад

@@Mathguy363 Captain Max von Stephanitz developed the breed by combining native "sheepdogs" from different regions of Germany. Also I believe Captain Max was based in Saxony Germany. You're right that there was an anti-German sentiment after WW1 and some countries began calling the dog "Alsatians". But that doesn't mean they were created in Alsace. Do you have any proof of what you're saying?

I love GSDs, and watching do their natural job. I prefer the working lines. I don't like the show breed standards, with the shorter hind legs and rounded back. I like the GSDs that are closer to the original breed standard. GSDs have such a reputation as military/police and guard dogs, many people forget that they are herding dogs first.

@Frencho9 5 лет назад

I hate breeders that ruined the GSD with passion. Super hard to find a proper GSD with 2 tone show line coat witouth sloped backs and tiny baby hind legs that remind of deadpool2.

D Roman I agree with you. Those show lines must have physical problems due to that curved lower back and shorter kegs. It should be a crime to breed defects purposefully.

@paulpijnenburg5449 5 лет назад

The german, belgian and dutch shepherd all descent from the same landrace. They are basically the same breed that got split because of political reasons. They then started selecting dogs that conformed to the new standard. The dutch for example started breeding only their brindle dogs even though they had dogs with the colouring of a gsd or malinois. The breed standards have been altered through time which has resulted in the abominiation that is the show version gsd. The breed standard of the dutch shepherd on the other hand has never changed. Which makes it a very healthy breed, just like dutch frisian horses for the same reason. Point being that if youre interested in an ‘original gsd’, youll be interested In the dutch shepherd dog.

I'd love to train my shepherd with these people. I always wanted to try herding but was never lucky enough to find a sheep farmer/trainer in my area. My shepherd once tracked a sheep herd that escaped its enclosure and was roaming out in the forests. The farmer asked me to try because he was desparate. It was incredible to see, especially since she never worked with sheep before.

I had a Border Collie that worked the sheep, when I got a GSD that BC couldn't understand why she didn't work the same way as she did! As the BC aged she was wary of ewes with lambs but the GSD would pounce towards the ewe barking and they moved away. The funniest thing was when the pair rounded up a herd of feral goats and brought them back to me.

This helped me to understand the shepherd I had when my daughter was a toddler. She amazed me one day when she started keeping the toddler in the driveway all on her own. She was following her nature. She had been out with us as I let the toddler play. I always dashed to stop the child when she would start to leave the driveway. My dog understood from my behavior and started doing what she naturally saw as her job. I didn't want the child to get into the horrible devil's club plant sprouts that would come up in our clearing. We lived in the WA rain forest at the time. Many years later after I learned a little about commands I had a cardigan corgi who worked with me to herd our 2 cats when they snuck out of the house. She learned come bye, come away and get'em. The last was when she pinned one and held it until I could run pick the cat up. Then we would go after other when the first was put in the house.

In Australia ggerman shepherd dogswere banned for years because of a fear of the havoc they could potentially cause to thesheep industry so no one ever thought of using one with sheep I did yard work with my shepherd I found because she didn’t have that really strong eye that border collies have but s she hadenough obedience to do great yard work were it more send your dog to a spot and put them aon a sit or down stay and their very presence would hold sheep past that point but I did get some fearful looks from sheep men who could not imagine working such a bree were as they were happy to use hunterfield dogs from new Zealand who are very big bitter they are a duel purpose dog that are bred for cattle and sheep the more you do with your dog the more balanced he becomes their mind thrive on the variety of their work

Excellent video. Most people are unaware of the differences between the kind of herding you see in the British Isles versus the type of herding common in continental Europe. It's a shame that few modern GSD lines are bred in favor of herding and so much emphasis is placed on shutzhund. I'd even argue that the German military Captain who developed the modern breed really was breeding a military/police dog. The dogs he used were mostly of herding stock but from his writings it's pretty clear his focus was on developing a marshall dog. He primarily used three types of landraces, two of which were renown for their herding ability. He did use a type of dog from Thuringia that probably originated as herding dogs but were used mostly as guard dogs when thr breed was originated.

Question for those that know the GSD breeds behavior: At the dog park today a big Great Dane was trotting straight towards my boy OttO. He dropped to his belly, with his head and ears fully up, and pounced in a play attack right as she got in range. They did this behavior again about a half hour later. He is very Guard Dog-ish by nature, I wonder if this is part of that behavior?

The experience we have so far is that a Rottweiler is great for big cattle and pigs but they’re too rough in the approach to work with sheep and with poultry you CAN NOT trust them. German shepherds basically do good with cattle, pigs, sheep and even smaller poultry like chickens, ducks, geese and guinea fowl. Both the Rottweiler and the German Shepherd are great to put pressure on foxes and the occasional wolf can also be pushed back, certainly by The Rottweiler(s). We never had Border Collies, here in Belgium the Borders are often replaced by Belgian Malinois because they’re just as agile and eager to work but they’re also great guards and they are substantially more decided in the approach against foxes and badgers.

@deanfirnatine7814 5 лет назад

Military and Police working dogs DO have a "off switch" when they come home, they are NOT "kennel dogs" you do that you end up with dogs that are not socialized and can be dangerous when you do not want them to be, that goes for German Shepherds, Dutch Shepherds or Malinois. She does not know what the hell she is talking about with police and military dogs.

@claireabbott6112 5 лет назад

Brilliant and thank you. It gives me the confidence to try with my German Shepherd. I have a feeling he may bark too much. Not met any sheep, but when the friendly cows come up to the fence - he will go to one side of the group and bark before swinging to the other side of the group and bark. the cows back up a little but are used to dogs and seem too laid back to care much. My dog always comes away when asked and looks so pleased with himself.
