 | | This breed, often referred to as the GSD for short, has existed for many centuries, and was referred to, by an early Roman historian, Tacitus as, "the wolf-like dog of the country around the Rhine." These early dogs were however, a mixed lot of varying sizes and coats. |
 | | They transformed the heretofore nondescript collection of dogs into a uniform breed, recognized throughout the world for its intelligence, loyalty, superb working, search and rescue and guard dog protection abilities. |
 | | For a several decades, because of the wars, and anti-German sentiment, it was known in Britain as the Alsatian dog until the late 1970s. |
