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!

Kobee is such a kick back dog. He’s only downfall is that he barks a lot at night.. But is that a bad thing??

My GS is my first dog and my only choice of dogs. He loves my family. Follows me around Waits For Me by the bathroom door waits for me when I get home from work sneaks in kisses. I vacuumed 4 times a day but I think he’s beautiful.He’s just barely a year his name is Houdini.

My Isabel is my saving grace!! We had raised and lost (all due to old age) golden retrievers and then we got her!! Didn’t know what we were setting ourselves up for with a GSD breed. She is my husband and I best friend, our lives and world revolves around her. We joke that she is the 3rd being in our marriage. She is not a pet to us, she is our child and we treat her so. She is attached to our side, most of our conversation are about her and with her (lol, she has her own style of communicated with us). Our life would not be as fun without her, yes you can say that we are obsessed with her….we aren’t ashamed!! She is so powerfully loving, incredibly smart and constantly up for learning more, over the top protective of our home, funny, and just an all around big personality….to say we love her is just not enough!! And her best friend is our cat who is tougher on her than Isabel is to the cat, lol
