The Old German Herding Dogs ((ドイツ語:Altdeutsche Schäferhunde or Altdeutsche Hütehunde)) are traditional types of working herding dogs from Germany. They are landraces consisting of working strains of dog, and some of them are the types from which the modern German Shepherd Dog was developed as a standardised breed. The landraces are not recognized by the Fédération Cynologique Internationale but have their own standards. == History == Before the 1890s, any dog used for herding and protecting sheep in Germany was referred to as a "German Shepherd Dog". The dogs were bred solely for their working ability, with little effort to standardise a particular appearance, eliminate genetic defects or to create a defined breed of dog.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Profile of the German Shepherd Dog )〕 In 1899 a new formal breed was established by the Society for the German Shepherd Dog. This was selected from amongst the working shepherd dogs,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Altdeutscher Schaeferhund )〕 and became the modern German Shepherd Dog breed. Many German herdsmen continued to breed their dogs for working ability rather than to the new breed standard, and their remaining non-standardised working dogs were called ''Altdeutscher Schäferhund'', or "Old German Shepherd Dog".〔 Under the Society for the German Shepherd Dog, the long-haired variant of the German Shepherd for a long time was not accepted. This changed in 2009.〔(''Die wichtigsten Beschlüsse der Bundesversammlung vom 6.-7. Juni in Kassel.'' ) In: ''SV-Zeitung.'' Juli 2009. S. 437–438.〕 Since 2010 the long-haired type has been accepted.〔(FCI-Standard N°166 - German Shepherd Dog ) (doc) "Double coat & long and harsher outer coat"〕 Previously, breeders of the long-haired variant of the German Shepherd had founded their own kennel clubs, and had called the long-haired variant the "Old German Shepherd Dog", too. So shepherds, farmers, and other owners of the threatened landraces had to find another name. They renamed the ''Altdeutschen Schäferhunde'' (Old German Shepherd Dogs) ''Altdeutsche Hütehunde'' (Old German Herding Dogs). Other old landraces of cattle dogs, which are not ancestors of the modern German Shepherd ( "zott"-coated dogs, cow dogs), were also given the generic name, ''Altdeutsche Hütehunde''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Old German Herding Dogs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
