Two ceramic German Shepherd dog figures, lying and sitting, naturalistically painted in brown tones Ceramic, polychrome painted, glazed, two naturalistically modelled figures of German Shepherd dogs, made as hollow figures, finely worked fur, true-to-detail painting in various shades of brown, indistinctly marked on the base, condition commensurate with age, partly with crazing and glaze flaws, 1) lying dog in resting pose, 20x29.5x15 cm (HxWxD) 2) sitting dog with dark collar, 19.5x16x9.5 cm (HxWxD) The German Shepherd is a comparatively young breed: on 22 April 1899 the Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde (SV) was founded on the occasion of a dog show in Karlsruhe, its first president being Max von Stephanitz. Horand von Grafrath was entered in the stud book as the first male dog, with the number one. In the First World War German Shepherds were used as messenger, medical and cable-laying dogs, in the Second World War additionally as gas detection and ammunition-carrying dogs. As animal figures in ceramic or porcelain, the German Shepherd is one of the frequent motifs of canine sculpture.
