Скачать или смотреть 1936 Schutzhund Trials in Germany | Rare Vintage GSD Assessment Video

Travel back to 1936 Germany—into the formative years of Schutzhund—where the German Shepherd was still shaped by the guiding hand of its founder, Max von Stephanitz. It was in that April that year when von Stephanitz passed away.

This restored vintage footage captures the authentic working-dog spirit of the era: functional, disciplined, and free from modern glamour.

Experience the true foundation of Schutzhund as it was practiced nearly a century ago:

• Rare archival footage from the 1936 trial—a genuine piece of working-dog history
• Courage Test / Long Attack scenes, showing the dog’s bravery, full commitment, and athletic ability
• Protection work with the helper (decoy)—the original style of man-work
• The three gunshots used to assess nerve stability and steadiness before evaluation
• Authentic obedience and tracking demonstrations, rooted in pure working functionality
• The teamwork and control required between handler and dog, central to the sport even then
• Simple, honest tradition—after the work was done, man and dog shared their modest refreshment, reflecting the era’s spirit

This video preserves the raw, unpolished, functional essence of the German Shepherd—long before modern sport evolution. It showcases the qualities von Stephanitz envisioned: courage, nerve, strength, clarity, and purpose.

Whether you’re a German Shepherd enthusiast, a Schutzhund/IGP follower, or a lover of canine history, this is a rare window into the origins of the working dog legacy.
