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!

I have a German Shepherd and she is a sweet loveable dig. She is protective and really good with kids. It is the way you bring them up and treat them. In my opinion they are great dogs to have.
