4. German Shepherds love to have jobs.

Keeping your German Shepherd dogs active and fit will not only maintain their physical health, it will keep them mentally happy too.

According to GermanShepherdGuide.com, “…a German Shepherd dog is happiest when given something to do. Whether that is a dog sport, service work or being included in family activities – this breed thrives when provided with proper physical and mental stimulation. Since the German Shepherd Dog is such an athletic and intelligent breed, it would be a shame not to utilize their abilities or provide the proper stimulation for a dog of this caliber.

The German Shepherd Dog is ideal for active homes and working homes, and thrives in an environment where one appreciates the history and purpose of the breed. The German Shepherd does make a phenomenal family companion, but as a working breed they thrive when they are active and given some sort of job to do.”

That's the reason why we see German Shepherd dogs frequently employed as military dogs, search and rescue dogs, detection dogs (e.g. narcotics, bomb, arson, human remains, etc.), personal protection dogs, service dogs, airport dogs, and even therapy dogs.

    Had shepard when my kids were tiny. We were fishing one day on a dock. A little boy reached for their tackle box. Prince gently took the little ones hand in his mouth and said no no in doggie language. Amazing dogs very protective.

    I agree with most of them except the one where it says German Shepherds don’t understand speech’s, my German Shepherd had the runs a couple of weeks ago and I told her if she wanted to go out just wake me up and I’ll let you out, she woke me up at 4 in the morning and I let her out, so I like think it what I said to her.
