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!

Territorial, protective of home and family, especially women and children. Also my car partner for a number of years. Experts at nothing, just good at everything. I’ll take a GSD over any other breed any day.

Odin, my 4 yr old, best dog I’ve ever had. Just wish he didn’t know that cause he gets away with everything.

So wrong , my life has always felt so loved, safe, protected with a Shepard at my side. The way you raise any dog will have an effect.
