Facebook page.Full ArticleThe fact that the German Shepherd was the most used breed to begin with was because it was a breed that one could acquire quite easily. Following the breed regulations of the Dutch Shepherd a lot of good dogs did not get accepted as Dutch Shepherd. An example of this was made in 1914 when suddenly only the brindle color was accepted and the other colors, including fawn, were suddenly excluded. These same dogs, that were not acceptable to the Dutch Shepherd Standard could however be accepted for the Belgian Shepherd Standard. This, more then likely, explains the rise of the Belgian Shepherd in the KNPV.

Re: History of the KNPV
So basically they dropped the German dogs and used primarily Mal's and Dutchies after a certain point?
