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.
David Miller took a much-deserved trip to Cancun, Mexico but unfortunately while there, he took a bit of a fall. Upon returning to the States, and while judging on the Florida circuit, he experienced pain from his accident. David went to the doctor and found out his pain was due to a broken wrist and a hairline fracture of his ribs! He will be having surgery to repair his wrist and will be as good as new very soon! Best wishes for a speedy recovery, David.

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.
