Step 1 : Introduction to the question "8. Which of these breeds of dogs is or has also been given the name Alsatians? "
...1. Spaniels 2. German Shepherd Dogs 3. Mastiffs 4. Great Danes During and after the First World War, anything German had fallen into disrepute in some parts of the world. For that reason the German shepherd dog was, at least temporarily, renamed the Alsatian. This name was correct anyway as Alsatia (now mostly called Alsace) was the area where the breed had originated, although it was not at all times clear to everybody whether Alsatia was inside or outside Germany. By the way, rightly or wrongly, it has been claimed that this is the dog that bites humans most. Great Danes are not from Denmark - they were bred in Germany for hunting wild boars. Nor are spaniels from Spain. The origin of the name spaniel seems to be related to French "espanir" and Italian "spaniare", verbs that mean"to crouch" or "to flatten". Cocker spaniels hunted for woodcocks. Springer spaniels flushed partridge, pheasants and hares. Originally, mastiffs were used as dogs of war. Later they became watch-dogs. In contrast to the name spaniel, the name Pekingese really suggests the correct origin. These dogs could only be kept at the Imperial Court and were treated as sacred. Their possession was forbidden for non-royals. When, in 1860, British and French troops overran the Summer Palace at Peking, the Imperial Guards received orders from the Emperor to kill his dogs. A few escaped the slaughter, and were taken to Queen Victoria's court. Peking is now known as Beijing.
