The Dog of the Hour 
'"“pHERE is just one thing the mat¬ 
ter with him—his name. That was 
pinned to him before the days of 
universal anti-Hunnism, and he really 
could not help it when people called him 
the German shepherd dog. But let us 
give thanks that nothing about his char¬ 
acter is Prussian. His part in the war 
today is enough to commend him, even 
without his admirable qualities in peace¬ 
ful surroundings. 
At the front the German sheep dog is 
serving as sentry and Red Cross assist¬ 
ant fh locating wounded men and bring¬ 
ing back news of them to the stretcher 
bearers. In many cases he is used as a 
despatch carrier, slipping through where 
a man would stand slight chance. He % 
is, in the best sense of the word, the 
dog of the hour. 
What is he like? 
Well, just study his photographs— 
they give a better idea of his appearance 
and character than could many words 
of text. A glorified wolf, one might say, 
but a wolf whose expression of cunning 
and hatred has been replaced by one of 
intelligence and trustworthiness. He 
stands up and faces the world without 
deception, fear or shadow of treachery. 
He is big, strong and thoroughly capa¬ 
ble of meeting any emergency. Withal 
he seems the primitive dog idealized, a 
true companion and assistant in every 
phase of life. 
This dog of many parts has, needless 
to say, the highest type of canine in¬ 
telligence. He is what one would call 
naturally brainy, which connotes the ab¬ 
sence of pose or undue seriousness. He 
makes a capital family dog, combining 
the qualities of a fearless watchdog with 
trustworthiness toward those whom he 
has learned are his friends. 
Several theories have been advanced 
as to the German shepherd’s ancestry. 
One is that he is related to the collie, 
but a more plausible one is that he is 
descended directly from the small wild 
dog which dwelt in west-central Europe 
at the end of the Ice Age. If we accept 
the latter explanation, it seems probable 
that his ancestry leads back to the 
Adam of all dogs. In any event, he is 
no newcomer to the list of thorough¬ 
breds, for he has been well known in 
the Low Countries for two centuries 
and more. 
As with all specialized—one might 
almost say professional—breeds, ade¬ 
quate and proper training is essential to 
the development of all a German shep¬ 
herd’s good qualities. Remember that 
his is a strong character and that he 
has been bred to be handled as a real 
dog. Let him grow up without special¬ 
ized training—or, what is worse, faulty 
training—and the probabilities are that 
he will be unsatisfactory. 
For this reason it is often advisable 
to purchase a mature dog which has 
already been thoroughly trained by 
someone who understands the breed 
and has handled him properly. Com¬ 
paratively few people are' qualified to 
make a success of bringing up a Ger¬ 
man sheep dog puppy in the way he 
should go. But when the work—and 
it is real work—has been honestly done, 
the result is a dog whose value as com¬ 
panion. friend and watchman can hardly 
b& exaggerated.
