Generally considered dogdom's finest all-purpose workers, the German Shepherds are large, agile, muscular dogs of noble spirit and high intelligence.

    Our female was named “Schatzi”. She loved our grandkids and was the most gentle we ever had.She had four living pups which we gave only to our best friends. Whenever any of them came to visit the obvious affection between them and “Mom” could easily be observed. We have to believe that there are dogs in heaven because they seem to know about love more so than humans do.
