joint secretary, gsd club of india
german shepherds have always played a big role in indian
dog show scenario. today the german shepherd as a breed in india is very
popular among the dog lovers, breeders as well as show enthusiasts. before
independence, keeping a german shepherd in the house used to be luxury and
only the elite class of people like royals, landlords or english officers
were privileged to keep them.
post independence, one could see them only in rich and
royal families. in the late 60s, german shepherds from england and germany
came to india. people like nawab ahmed hussain, nawab nazeer yar jung, r.
p. mitter, ashok mukherjee, rajasaheb bhadri, maharaja of baria, l. c.
smith, contributed a lot to the growth and popularity of the german
shepherds in the country. especially, mr. l. c. smith from bangalore
produced top class dogs under the prefix ‘sydenberg’, blending
bloodlines from ramacon swas buckler and ajax von haus dexel. nawab nazeer
yar jung from hyderabad, with his prefix ‘paighas’ imported lot of
quality german shepherds from germany, england and australia and bred many
obedience and show champions. ch. brando of blue blood, ch. nara von der

them.
then, a german shepherd enthusiast from southern india, mr.

won laurels in the show rings and created interest and love for the breed
among the gsd fanciers. mr. krishna mohan also imported some quality
