The man from Munich leaned down to pet the dog.
Unexpectedly, the dog snapped in the Munich man's direction and inflicted deep bite wounds on his neck and head area.
German Shepherds have strong teeth
Its name answers the questions of origin: The German Shepherd breed goes back to herding dogs that not only had to keep an eye on the sheep, but were also supposed to guard the shepherd's property.
Archetypes of the German Shepherd Dog defined in this way have been documented since the 7th century.
The German Shepherd is now one of the most popular dog breeds in the world.
However, the animals were not allowed to be imported into Australia for a long time.
In the past, it was assumed that they crossed with wolves and there were fears that they would mix with dingoes and thus pose a danger to the sheep herds.
This only changed in 1974.
The German Shepherd is one of the medium-sized dog breeds; its body is slightly stretched, strong and well muscled.
His nose is black and his teeth are strong.
He has a so-called scissor bite.
This means that the incisors interlock like scissors.
The upper incisors overlap the lower ones like scissors.
