I have had German sheperds all my life agong with one or two other breeds.
I love this breed they are so much fun and so intelligent great with children and other animals and make great gaurd dogs that can be trusted.
Our dog Roxy is seven years old and from a good breeder she is amazing and loves life. Alway know what the parent dogs history and look for good hip scores as this can be a problem with the breed. We have never had a nasty dog as it is how you treat them and bring them up.In the past we have had sheperds from english parent dogs and they have all been good natured but sometimes a little nervous, Roxys farther is from Germany and we were told by the breeder that this would make a difference and from our experience she was right as roxy ( a bitch ) is so alert and switched on and also fearless, this has makes her very good to train but harder work as she gets bored easily. The biggest thing for me with sheperds is that they are a people dog Roxy hates being left on her own dispite haveing two cats for company ( one of which adores her and sleeps on her back at times ) She really wants to be with people all the time so i would not recomend one as a leave at home while you go to work dog.
Certainly my best friend.
