1989 East German DDR Sieger Show

Ed Frawley went into East Germany in October of 1989 before the wall came down and filmed this East German Sieger Show in Liepsig. The Sieger Show was the German Shepherd Dog Club of East Germany's confirmation show. This was the last DDR Sieger Show before the wall came down. The DDR offered a genetic option to German Shepherd Breeders. The breeder had not done a lot of over the border breeding. This is reflected in a different type of dog and different temperaments. The DDR schutzhund trial was also much different than Schutzhund in the rest of the world.

The image quality of this streaming video is nowhere near the quality it was when it was originally filmed. It is also nowhere near the quality of our current Leerburg training DVDs.

Many of the older dog shows and competitions were not encoded into a computer format until the video tapes were 20 to 25 years old. Over the years, the image quality of video tape deteriorates. These older dog shows are being offered for their historical significance. That's why we are streaming videos for its current price which originally sold for up to $100.00.

These videos are no longer offered on DVDs.
