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!

I don’t have a picture of our other shepherd but the both of them come up on our beds all the time. The one pictured will lay either on us or put his head in the crook of our neck and cuddle. Our older GSD just rolls around on the bed like the goober he is. He is your typical GSD though where as the younger is too sweet. Best dogs ever ( as well as the Golden Retriever)

Kato my 4 month old GSD is the worse! He guards my bedroom door day and night. He always walks at my heels in the walking trail until another walker appears. Them he is ALWAYS between me and walkers no matter what. But never shows aggression to them.
