Considered dogdom’s finest all-purpose workers, the German Shepherds are large, agile, muscular dogs of noble spirit and high intelligence.
There are many reasons why GSDs stand in the front rank of canine royalty, but breed experts say their dogs’ most important attribute is character:
…loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to learn and retain commands for an amazing number of specialized jobs, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones.
While there are a ton of reasons why German Shepherds are so beloved by humans, there are reasons to believe that German Shepherds are actually the worst dog breed to live with… EVER!
Check out the 19 reasons why German Shepherds are actually the worst dogs to live with on the next page!

Who says something like that someone who really doesn’t know German Shepards they are the most loyal dog. I love all dogs and I hope one day every animal has a home cause they deserve to be happy. We need to be there voices for them. They have feelings just like us. I wish I could rescue all of them. My heart goes out to them.
