German Shepherd

GSD's are classed as a large breed. They originated in Germany (if the name didnt give that away) in the late 1800's making them failry 'new' as far as breeding goes. They belong to the working dog group as they were originally bred for herding sheep. They are often favoured as Police dogs due to their strength, agility and high level of intelligence. They are extremely loyal and obediant makign them one of the most popular breeds registered. My love of this breed started well...before I was even born really as my parents had a great big black and Tan GSD called Prince. Then I came along. Prince was an ex police dog and very very territorial and protetive. ...  Read the complete review

I have had German sheperds all my life agong with one or two other breeds.

I'd never had one before (being a Jack Russell man myself) and was a bit wary of them ... 5 years down the line I can honestly say that our GSD has won me over. We've had various breeds and aren't really biased to any one - in fact I like the notion of a mixed pack with a couple of big ones and some terriers ... which is just what we have at the moment. Anyway, to the biggest one she's the smartest, most beautiful and most obedient dog I've ever had, a gentle giant with a very strong work ethic (her dad is German working line) ... we are on a ...  Read the complete review

Before Sadie there was a lot less incessant whining. Before Sadie I got stared at less frequently whilst I was busy and rarely got a large head thumped onto my lap or woken with an affectionate headbutt and a lick. Before Sadie, there were no hours spent merely rolling a tennis ball from her to you. Before Sadie there was tons more room on the sofa, the bed, even the general floor space and household plants and ornamental garden grasses felt a lot safer. Without Sadie it would be quieter; I wouldn't have someone to turn to for an improntu cuddle and I wouldn't be quite so happy in the mornings if Sadie wasn't there to attempt to take me off my feet in an overzealous ...  Read the complete review
