background information about shepherds

But what makes the German shepherd breed so special? According to information from schaeferhunde.de , the essence assessment (WB) is a central part of the breeding approval. This test not only examines the behavior of the dogs, but also their health and breed type. A quality assurance that filters out negative properties and emphasizes the positive characteristics.

The breeding system testing (ZAP) complements this examination and ensures that dog owners interact sufficiently with their animals during the socialization and imprinting phases. The ZAP offers a valuable assessment method for the behavior and skills of a dog, with the focus on interaction between dog and dog handler. A dog can take these exams from the age of 18 months, with the results flow into the breeding decisions. A real plus for the breed!
