26 The Shepherd or Police Dog 
Eberharcl produced the 1908 Champion, Luchs von 
Karlsmunt Wetzlar, who in turn produced the 1910 
Austrian Champion, Wotan vom Emstal, and the 
1910 German Champions, Flora von der Kriminal- 
polizei and Tell von der Kriminalpolizei, and the 
latter in turn produced the 1911 Champion, Hella

pedigrees as one of the most influential sires. The 
sires of today substantiate the prepotency of the 
Horand blood. 
To pick at random, there is Nores von der Krim¬ 
inalpolizei, strong in von Boll blood, which is a 
continuation of the intensely bred Horand dog, Graf

Another sire of the present day, Alex von West- 
falenheim, the grandsire of the 1922 Champion dog 
and bitch of Germany, is sired by Hettel Uckermark, 
a very prepotent son of Roland, and goes back on the 
dam’s side to Gunter Uckermark, a litter brother of 
Hettel. 
While the history of the breed in America is 
encompassed in a comparatively short period, it has
