I read a book by him some years ago. There was a very sad bit in it
about how many people just dumped their dachshunds during WWII because
they were "German". As if a dog could have political sympathies....
Mr Lloyd Jones rescued as many as he could, but of course only had
limited resources :-(

On a similar vein, I believe it was during the war that "German Shepherds"
were renamed "Alsatians" to be more politically correct.

Certainly, being only just post-war born, I've always known them as
Alsatians and to me, Americans call/ed them German Shepherds more than
Britons do. I had always assumed the breed originated in Alsace.
