ABOUT THE GERMAN SHEPHERD
The German Shepherd is a highly intelligent dog. Combined with their strength and agility, this makes the breed desirable as police, guard and search and rescue dogs as they are able to quickly learn various tasks and interpret instructions. GSDs are very active dogs and are marked by a willingness to learn and an eagerness to please and to have a purpose. German Shepherds make wonderful family companions. These dogs are very loyal to their owner and family and bond well with children and other animals that they are familiar with. Their intelligence makes them easy to train, although they can become over-protective of their family and territory if not socialized properly.
