It held annual "Sieger" shows (Championships) at which one dog and bitch were selected as Sieger and Siegerin. The Club and von Stephanitz held a watchful eye on German Shepherd Dog breeding throughout Germany, holding jurisdiction on which dogs and bitches could be used for breeding, which could be bred to one another, the number of puppies that could be kept and raised from each litter, age limitations on breeding stock and the number of breedings a stud dog could have in one year. Max von Stephanitz and the Verein fur Deutsche Schaferhunde ( SV ) had a goal to develop a dog of uniform structure and working ability. Under the guidance of Rittmeister Stephanitz began the formation of the modern day German Shepherd Dog. Though herding was the German Shepherd Dog's original purpose, von Stephanitz recognized the importance of expanding the breed's usefulness in other directions and persuaded the government to use the German Shepherd Dog in police and military work. The German Shepherd Dogs was used extensively by the police, military and went on to become the first dogs used as Guide Dogs for the blind. The German Shepherd Dog lost some popularity in the United States during each of the World Wars, but recovered directly thereafter. The popularity is attributed to his outstanding characteristics which are sound nerves, alertness, self-confidence, trainability, watchfulness, loyalty and incorruptibility, as well as courage, intensity and hardness. This makes him ideal to be a superior working dog in general, and in particular to be a protector, search and rescue dog and herding dog, but, most of all...an excellent and undaunted companion. The German Shepherd Dog as we know him today is a versatile working dog capable of performing a wide variety of tasks...and loving every minute of every challenge.
