Did You Know?:
Temporary Name Change
- After the World Wars, Americans and many Europeans were a little leery of anything German.
- As a result, a dog called a “German Shepherd” didn’t seem very appealing. To combat this bias,
- the American Kennel Club simply called them shepherd dogs, and the English called them Alsatian wolf dogs.
- That moniker was used until 1977, but it was used for so long in Europe that some people still refer to them
- as Alsatians to this day.
Our Obedience classes are now open to all breeds.
- Check out Classes and Lectures for details.
