German Shepherd Overview

Is the German Shepherd breed right for you?

German Shepherds1. A breed like the GSD, which is capable of so much, requires an owner who is just as capable and can devote time, energy and effort into developing his dogs potential.

2. The German Shepherd is good for a family that wants to make their dog a true part of their lives. He builds strong bonds of loyalty with those close to him.

3. An intelligent dog needs much mental and physical stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behavior.

4. GSDs are wonderful companions for the right people, but prospective owners must first weigh all of the pros and cons.

I think that the article was very good. I have a mixed breed dog and had a DNA test done on her and it came back 75% German Shepherd and 25% Lab. Now I know why she is such a good guard dog. It is my hope that because she is a mixed breed I will not have the health problems of a registered dogs. I have a small mixed breed dog that will be 16 years old this August. She is a 1993 model say the vet! Both of my register poodles died of cancer. Since my dog is 75% German Shepherd I plan to learn all I can to take care of her to prevent health problems if at all possible. Thank you for your site.
