Breed of dog known officially from 1977 as
the German shepherd. It is about 63 cm/26 in
tall, and has a wolflike appearance, a thick
coat with many varieties of colouring, and a
distinctive gait. They are used as police
dogs because of their high intelligence.
Alsatians were introduced from Germany into
Britain and the USA after World War I.
