Herman Martin belonged to the famous kennel «vom Arminius» (foundation year - 1972), and Walter - no less famous in the "show" circles kennel «vom der Wienerau», founded in 1956. The motto of the brothers was perfect breeding dogs, through beauty. In fact, they promoted the breeding based on the exterior. With regard to the working qualities of dogs, then it was not given much importance.
In 1966, Walter Martin becomes a judge for breeding. In those days, the exhibition considered zootechnical event, and held for the selection of dogs, as close as possible to the ideal breed, given von Stephanitz. Walter and Herman, the owners of several dogs that are included in the selected class, actively "promote" showcased their nurseries. Besides, Herman was able to "guess" preferences President SV Christopher Rummel. That is, during the reign of Dr. Rummel appeared ideology of "Beauty through perfection."
From 1966 to 1982, with the help of Brother Martin in "show" appeared in all three breeding lines, including the legendary Canto and Quanto Wienerau. "Shoushniki" differed significantly from the original breed standard "German Shepherd". The initial image of a dog with a straight back, strong legs, and "wolf" color, black & brown pressed - animals with red "humped" back. In fact, "humpback" they are considered adherents of "worker" breeding German shepherds have the type of German hip tilt angle to the ground is forty-five degrees. As for the legs, then the hind limbs, indeed, "shoushnikov" weak, for the most part. But, it is provided that the dog does not receive any physical exertion. However, it should begin to run with the animal, then replace the weak ligaments come strong. But the psychological and working qualities such as Germany, in fact, have suffered. No, pets are not stupid, but very weak mentally. They lack concentration, they can not focus on long anything that adversely affects the dog training these dogs. Some representatives of the "show" class tend to be passive - defensive reaction, and it greatly hinders the development of "protecting" them. "Shoushniki" rather designed for quiet, comfortable living in an apartment or a warm enclosure than keeping guard service. But in the ring, they are very effective: bright and graceful, swift attack helper. No working dilution can not be compared with the show class at the show.
