About the German Shepherd Dog
"You can count on me to be your guard, guide, or friend!"
With a star-studded history and loving yet protective personality, itâs easy to understand why German Shepherd Dogs are one of the most popular breeds around. These pups possess the perfect blend of gentle love and fierce watchfulness. As long as youâre safe and content, they will be too.
Behavior
The German Shepherd is a very smart dog, in addition to being unconditionally loyal, obedient, brave, and protective. Theyâre known for their fearlessness and make great watchdogs, but they rarely show hostility or aggression unless provoked. Once German Shepherds bond with their families, theyâll be devoted to protecting them and keeping them happy.
Coat
There are three varieties of German Shepherds: coarse and short-haired, coarse and long-haired, and wavy and long-haired. The most common dogs are tan with a black back and mask, but German Shepherds come in a variety of colors, including solid black, grey, brown, and yellow, tricolor, or sable. They also have several kinds of markings, such as âpencillingâ (black lines on the toes) and âtar heelsâ (black on the back of the leg). No matter what kind of coat the German Shepherd has, they will shed regularly and need weekly brushing.
Lifestyle
German Shepherd Dogs are ultra territorial, making them among the least likely of breeds to run away from a fight. Theyâre not friendly towards strangers and wonât hesitate to let unwanted visitors know theyâre not welcome. German Shepherds get along fine with children and other animals, as long as theyâve been socialized, and they prefer to live in a home with family around. However, they donât enjoy being with other dogs and would prefer to have the house to themselves.
Activity
German Shepherd Dogs are happiest when theyâre doing some type of work, such as agility, obedience, or any activity that taps into their herding instincts. This breed enjoys helping and having a job to do, so they're often used as guide dogs and police dogs. No matter what the activity is, be sure to keep your German Shepherd busy with mental and physical activities to prevent boredom.
