Police Dog: A Study of the German Shepherd Dog (or Alsatian)

Developed in Germany as a herding and service dog, the German Shepherd - or Alsatian - is prized for its intelligence, courage and trainability. In The Police Dog, David Brockwell sets down what every owner and breeder should know of the breed.

First published in 1925, David Brockwell's account sets the German Shepherd Dog's history and origins alongside guidance on its points and standard, its character, and the everyday work of rearing, feeding and preparing a dog for the show ring.

Long scarce in its original edition, it returns here in a faithful modern reprint for German Shepherd Dog owners, breeders and breed historians.

This edition features:

• Traces the origins and history of the German Shepherd Dog.
• Sets out the breed's points, character and show standard.
• Practical notes on rearing, feeding, breeding and management.
• Restored from the original text and illustrations.
