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 donβt fall for marketing claims that those colors are βrareβ 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 mustΒ remember about these wonderful companions.
