The German Shepherd Dog In Word And Picture

by V. Stephanitz

Originally published in Germany in 1923, “The German Shepherd Dog in Word and Picture” is the English translation of what is probably the most important book ever published on this popular breed. This volume is highly recommended for owners and breeders alike, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents “The Shepherd dog and Herdsman’s dog, their Origin and Relationship”, “The Nature and Service of the Shepherd Dog”, “Breeding”, “Rearing”, “Judging”, “Training”, “Kennels”, etc Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

A very nice book if you want to read about the history of the German Shepherd breed. Contains great bits of knowledge for the enthusiast how wants to dig a little deeper. This is the definitive old work. But it also feels really old in style and some of the breed information. The 'biology' theory is also dated at times.
