The German Shepherd Dog is a natural protector and so adaptable and intelligent that he has performed just about every job known to dog. If he had opposable thumbs, he would be unstoppable.
They are highly intelligent and will not be content to live life as a couch potato. He's a dog of action, and needs to live with an active person who will give him a job worthy of his talents.
German Shepherds love children and make great family dogs when they are given early socialization and training.
Most of us think of the German Shepherd as a black and tan dog, but they can also be sable and solid black.
Dogs with white, blue or liver-colored coats are frowned upon by breeders, so don’t fall for marketing claims that those colors are “rare” and command a higher price.
These are some of the things we probably already know about German Shepherd dogs if we live with one. However, there are a few things all German Shepherd owners must remember about these wonderful companions.

My Big Jake is my best friend and companion. He is so loyal and protective. Sometimes though, I feel he is too overly protective. I have to beware of anyone who comes to close or sudden moves towards me. He knows his commands in German and also responds to hand commands . Life would be so lonely without him. We take 4 mile walks a day, I am not afraid to go anywhere anymore !

Would have nothing but a German Shepherd. Two of them have surely saved 2 of my nephews back in the 90’s. Unbelievably smart and fearless. With unconditional love

Have a beautiful girl just turning 2 and there are a lot of good things here……and the behaviour points make a lot of sense! Lola seems to be quite protective specifically when on a leash and with my wife. She is very loving with our children and is true to her bloodline always herding the kids and my wife….

My Grandparents had a beautiful gorgeous German Shepherd called Tara. She lived until she was 18 years old. She was the most loyal, loving beautiful dog you have ever met that would literally follow us as kids everywhere. Not a day goes by when I don’t look back and remember her fondly. Beautiful dogs.
