This breed was named Deutscher Schäferhund by Von Stephanitz, literally translating to "German Shepherd Dog". German Shepherds were named as such due to its original purpose of assisting shepherds in protecting sheep and herding. From then on, all other herding dogs in Germany were referred to by this name; they thus became known as Altdeutsche Schäferhunde or Old German Shepherd Dogs. German Shepherds were first exported to Britain in 1908, and the UK Kennel Club began to recognize the breed in 1919.
