Shepherd was bred, then this dog appeared in a slightly smaller size. It was called the American Pygmy Shepherd. This happened in 1960.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The breeders&#8217; goal was to reduce the growth of the other dog&#8217;s breed. At the same time, such positive qualities as intelligence and endurance were to remain.
