Did you know that 2/3 of four-legged assistants in the State Border Guard Service which easily detect and detain violators, search for weapons and drugs, are German shepherds?

The 3^rd of April is considered to be the "birthday" of the universal breed, which is an unchangeable symbol of border protection.

German Shepherds are very popular all over the world. For over 120 years, they have been reliable defenders, irreplaceable helpers and loyal friends!

The service dog should be restrained, obedient, motivated, courageous and determined, react properly and timely in an unusual situation. "Germans" in particular possess such qualities and abilities.

The German Shepherds were bred in Germany in the second half of the 19th century thanks to the efforts of the founders of the German Shepherd Club Lovers, led by Max von Stephanitz. German shepherds proved to be first-rate police and military dogs: during the First World War, they laid telephone cables, maintained communication, searched for the wounded, were used in patrols and in guard details.

The popularity of this breed increased, so afterwards almost all countries of the world began to take it on the service. Nowadays in Ukraine the German shepherd is no less popular.
