German Shepherds have a special character, so many dog breeders choose this particular breed. As the main features of her character, devotion, malleability, her respectful attitude towards a person can be singled out. Such dogs are widely used as service dogs, while in the war years they helped the wounded on the battlefield, undermined the enemy’s tanks, delivered documents to hard-to-reach places.
However, it was from the time of the Second World War that Daufman's shepherd dogs became known - the legendary fascist dogs that terrify all those who had previously met her.
Story
The fascists in 1939 began to create concentration camps. These places of death are known for their particularly cruel treatment of all prisoners. In order to keep prisoners at bay, convoys with dogs were created, the German Shepherd, due to its nature, did not quite fit. Therefore, the Reich cynological laboratory of the Reich ordered to increase the aggressiveness and cruelty of the representatives of this breed. So there were shepherds Daufman, cynologist SS.
About how this breed was bred, is little known. Documentation about the work of the Reich canine lab is classified, and the journals are in the library of the United States Congress. According to some information, there is information about the methods of breeding with the help of genetic experiments with the German Shepherd, the blood of the African hyena was introduced to it. And it is these genetic modifications that determine the mercilessness, resourcefulness, and cowardice of the Daufman sheepdog.
However, to date, many dog experts doubt the possibility of breeding a new breed, therefore Daufman sheepdogs are not registered anywhere, they are not found in dog handbooks, no one creates clubs of fans of this breed and the corresponding kennels. The grounds for doubt are the facts about the impossibility of crossing sheepdogs and hyenas. It will take many years to conduct such experiments, and in the case of the creation of this breed, this time period will be 1–2 years. Hyenas and dogs have different sets of chromosomes, also such a crossing is meaningless due to the cowardice inherent in hyenas. Therefore, a killer dog with such a set of genes is unlikely to succeed.
However, it is possible to create such dogs with a high degree of aggressiveness by selecting the most ferocious individuals and crossing them with each other. This method is also very time consuming.
As known, education takes a special place in the character of the dog. And if you wish the owner to raise an aggressive animal is easy. When the owner deprives the pet of communication, affection, attention, denies her the satisfaction of her desires and needs, he forms a neurotic character of the dog. Beatings can provoke hatred towards a person. Therefore, these methods may well bring up a particularly aggressive and ferocious individual. An unstable psyche carries a danger to a person no matter how large a representative of any breed is, in any case, it can cause damage. Therefore, experienced dog experts discard puppies with similar traits of character, thereby stopping their reproduction.
A dog is a friend of a person, therefore proper upbringing and a healthy mind are the main criteria for keeping a pet.
Description
Daufman Sheepdogs are similar to German Shepherd Dogs. They have a strong relief body, about 75 cm in height. The head is considered slightly more massive than that of German Shepherd Dogs, the ears are erect, the eyes are from dark to light brown in color, and the nose is black.Well developed jaws and a fairly strong neck. The coat is tight, hard to the touch, color mostly dark, black. Photos of these dogs are few, as well as accurate information about the creation of the breed. It is believed that there were not too many representatives, although accurate statistics are also impossible to provide.
It is known that the developments and experiments conducted in the laboratories of the fascists are classified to the present.
Character traits
During the training of this breed shepherd used the most brutal methods in relation to living beings. Canine Reich wore the form of prisoners in concentration camps and beat the dogs for a long time with metal rods. With such education, the dogs became especially aggressive and ferocious towards all prisoners. Cultivating hatred of people, pleasure in persecuting a person, cunning and cowardice became the main features of such shepherds. After the end of the war, about 42 thousand representatives of the breed were taken to the countries of the world. Therefore, the Daufman sheep dogs were not eradicated due to their ferocity. Some of them were used in the breeding of other breeds, which did not give a positive result.
The nature of the breeds was spoiled, which limited the ways of their use.
In 1995, in one of the journals of America was told about the discovery of the "gene of aggressiveness." Its authors were dog handlers K. Cooper and N. Moore. In the study of the brain, ova and sperm of killer dogs, there was a difference in the chromosome regions responsible for the nervous system. And this article, scientists argued that the gene is hereditary, that the offspring of these dogs, sooner or later show the skills of the killer. According to some information, when breeding a prohibited dog of the superdog breed, Daufman sheep dogs were used. Superdogs were created for the protection of military facilities, they were larger and more powerful than shepherd dogs, as well as immune to radiation. Then the superdogs were crossed with savannah dogs, a new breed, the Maikongi, was bred for use against the terrorists.
These dogs were recognized by society as killers.
As one of the representatives of this breed can be considered Shepherd named Blondi. She was Hitler's favorite and was the fruit of Daufman's experiments. Hitler was inseparable from his dog, but after the incident on the hunt he nevertheless hurried to get rid of it. The fact is that when the Fuhrer butchered a slain deer, he got dirty in his blood. Blondie pounced on the owner and tried to tear him down. Then, on the orders of Hitler, the dog was taken to a country house for further maintenance. At the site of the new habitat, the dog bit most of the staff working there, which made it impossible for the dog to continue on the Führer's estate. Blondie put to sleep.
At the moment, the law introduces restrictions on the breeding of this breed. For example, in Kiev, individuals are subject to mandatory sterilization, and a high license fee is charged to the owners. And also necessarily microchipping, liability insurance, in the case of walking, you must keep such a dog in a muzzle and on a short leash.
The Daufman Sheepdog is an unrecognized dog breeding dog breed. However, animals with a similar ferocity character were encountered at different times, in the history there are known references to Roman dogs trained on slaves, as well as aggressive superdogs and maykongi.
Today, hard work is underway to improve the representatives of the species. German Shepherd Dogs are represented by the most worthy individuals. Therefore, if you want to find a puppy with the stated breed qualities, stable psyche, you must contact the nursery and take time to raise a worthy representative of the breed.
