Trivia Answer

True!

The German Shepherd breed was nearly wiped out after World War II due to a severe decline in their numbers.

During WWII, there was widespread bombing and destruction in Germany, where the German Shepherd breed originated. Many kennels and breeding lines were decimated.

Additionally, after the war, there were strict regulations imposed by the Allied forces that made keeping and breeding dogs very difficult for Germans.

By some estimates, the German Shepherd population dropped to as low as a few hundred dogs after the war. The breed was on the verge of extinction. It took concerted efforts by dedicated breeders over many years to rebuild the German Shepherd population from this low point.

Their work in maintaining and selectively breeding the limited remaining bloodlines is credited with preventing the extinction of this iconic breed.
