So, dogs are back at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. As the world already knows, a new pair of German Shepherds recently moved in there. Likewise, there’s nothing surprising about the fact that they are far from the first ones. Although, from a historical standpoint, this is a relatively new breed, it’s enjoyed enduring popularity since it debuted in the 1800s. Intelligent, charming, and incredibly photogenic, no breed has enjoyed the enduring cinematic success of the German Shepherd. Those traits have also made it the ideal political sidekick.

A dog breed does not “simply appear.” It comes into being because people see the merit in a certain type of dog capable of performing a specific role, whether hunting or herding, guard work or pest control, or even companionship. These people (breeders) often spend many years studying the practical application of canine genetics and breeding to improve the dog’s conformation and working abilities and to purify and set type. If they fail to achieve their goal, the stock dies off and the breed does not become established. If they are successful, then the dog’s instincts become fixed and type becomes set, and they will have developed a breed. Presumably, the breed should then exist forever.

As I volunteered at a scent work trial recently, I watched some really great teams compete, and saw some really poor teams compete. While watching, I realized that the difference between the great teams and the poor teams in scent work was the same as the difference between a good professional handler team and an average (or worse) owner-handler team in conformation.

I have been involved in dog shows as an exhibitor and breeder over the past 25+ years and recently was introduced to one of the Miscellaneous breeds. Once I got involved with the Foundation Stock Service, some of the things that have been bothering me for several years all of a sudden came back to me and started making sense. AKC has the responsibility of keeping the records for the breeds, but I have always been under the impression that the breed clubs are the keepers of the breeds. Am I mistaken?
