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!

Our Gunner boy. Doesn’t speak a word but you know his every emotion. By far, the most loyal and protective dog.

I so miss my old GSD lady, Marta. I had her for 15 1/2 wonderful years. I now have two Huskies (who Marta helped “raise”), a Hovawart (a German dog but NO German Shepherd when it comes to brains) and a funny little Rat Terrier/Sharpe mix (who is likely the smartest one out of the four). I can’t responsibly take on a fifth dog…so I have to wait.

My dear old GSD lady Marta, was a dark sable. They’re no all that common but sure do turn heads when people meet them!

Bailey & Bosco. They drive us crazy sometimes, OK ALOT of the time, but I love them to pieces. They are so sweet and loving. Always turn a bad day into a good day. Wouldn’t want to live without them.
