They are healthy dogs too
Unlike many dogs of a larger breed, German Shepherds have very few health related risks when kept on a healthy diet and given enough exercise. The main concerns are in regards to their hip and elbow joints, but are avoidable if kept healthy.
They are heroic
Their heroic nature is part of the reason why many German Shepherds are used in police forces. They have been awarded medals of honor for their service and bravery and are responsible for saving the lives of thousands of people.
They are awesome family dogs
If you socialize your German Shepherd pups when they are young, they will grow up to be fantastic playmates for young children.
They are adaptable
While they may not seem it, German Shepherds really can adapt to any kind of lifestyle or living situation. As long as they are given plenty of exercise, they can adapt to suit your needs.
They are low maintenance
German Shepherds require little to no grooming at all. Their beautiful natural coats can remain that way without any special care, which means expenses for you.

Absolutely all of those things . My first two dogs were German Shephards. They are very smart & loving . Then I had a chow Newfoundland mix, when Bear passed, I got a Gentle Giant my Newfie Maggie & when she passed another Newfie AllieJo! She passed 2-15-15. I really miss all my furbabies. They all were wonderful. If I wasn’t afraid of passing before them, I’d get another. Bt no one would spoil then like I do. I’m 75 now & dnt know when the Lord may call me home.
