They come in a range of colors
While you might think German Shepherds all come in variations of the same black, tan and brown coloring, you’d be wrong. Some of the less common colorings include solid coat colors of blue and white.
They can be friendly to other pets
They may seem like a breed that craves dominance over other animals, but that is certainly not always the case. When socialized early, German Shepherds can even become quite timid and gentle with other pets.
Even if they aren’t – they look intimidating
German Shepherds emanate the kind of look that says ‘do not mess with me’. Their reputation coupled with their larger frames means that people are often quite afraid of the breed regardless of how docile or friendly they might actually be.
They will accept those you trust
While German Shepherds might be standoffish and protective of you around those they don’t know, this will change quickly as they learn to trust new people and familiarize themselves with them.
They are curious
German Shepherds have a desire for challenges and a natural curiosity. They love mental stimulation just as much as physical activity which makes them great playmates.

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.
