In April 1999, the German Shepherd dog celebrated its "100th birthday". German shepherd associations and dog lovers celebrate the centenary of the "King of the World's Dogs" in different forms of celebration.

At the beginning of World War I, German Shepherds were widely present in Germany and quickly spread elsewhere. Unfortunately, dogs that have not been improved by breed are prone to physiological and behavioral problems. The incidence of arthritis, eye diseases, and gastrointestinal diseases is high.
