The work represents the reproduction and growth of shepherd dogs, further to the relationship between dogs and humans in a competitive natural environment. Established in 1899, Vereln für Deutsche Schäferhunde (SV) has sets the slogan of “the reproduction of German Shepherd Dogs is the reproduction of working dogs” as well as its mission. The world of humans and the German Shepherd Dogs exists a mutual inseparable relationship. Let’s not take the evolutionary point to view to analyze the development of shepherd dogs. Instead, we take a closer look at the reproduction system created by mankind based on Intelligent Design, which has directly intervened the evolution of shepherd dogs. It is obvious that we had fostered the aesthetic recognition of shepherd dogs according to human aesthetic experience. Human intelligence has created the eugenics of shepherd dogs. Human’s preference has also provided selection standard for canine competition and reproduction.
Consequently, human intelligent design creates the butterfly effect in the ecology of shepherd dogs. German people’s eugenic mobilization for shepherd dogs is a reality that is inevitable for the pulse of global aestheticism about shepherd dogs.
