German Shepherd Reviews

German Shepherd dogs (also known as Alsations or GSD for short) are a large breed dog with the adult weight weighing in around 35-40kg. They should have a straight back and confident stance. Unfortunately due to breeding to KC standards some GSD's have a very sloped back and are shaking at their back legs as they find it difficult to balance ...  Read the complete review

A German shepherd is all you could want in a dog. They look really intimidating, which is good because you know that no one will cause trouble when it is with you. If you have owned one for as many years as I have, you will know that despite the intimidating looks, they are really a fun and loving dog. They are also one of the smartest and ...  Read the complete review

Ive only own one GSD so far in my life and I can say its been an honor I can't put into words what it is about the breed that I love so much there just seems to be a connection. When my husband wanted to get a GSD to keep our lab company during the day I was a little nervous as they are large dogs and I knew I would be doing all the walking. ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I must admit that when my wife said she wanted to get an Alsatian / GSD I was a bit apprehensive .... 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 ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

Firstly, many people think German Shepherds are very aggressive and will bite. This will only be the case if they have been (or are being) mistreated or badly trained. In general they are loving, lovable, and extremely loyal dogs; perfect for the single type who lives on their own and sometimes needs a big ball of fluff to interact with! The only ...  Read the complete review

German Shepherds were bought into England just after the 1st World War and were originally bred to herd sheep. Very intelligent and often used as police dogs and guard dogs, these lovely dogs are one of the most loyal breeds that you can get. My Dog Sandy is German Shepherd cross, however I am not sure what he is crossed ...  Read the complete review

As a family we've had a number of different dogs over the years. However, my partner has always wanted a German Shepherd. Now, I've known a number of people over the years who have had the breed, and love them myself but due to limitations in house size, with two other dogs it simply wasn't going to be practical to have another dog! Let alone a ...  Read the complete review

One of the most useful and most intelligent members of all the breeds of dogs to be found in a German Shephard once you have chosen this handsome animal. In fact, they were originally bred as work-dogs and in Central Europe they tended herds of sheep. This is a breed that is today known for their super alertness, striking beauty and ...  Read the complete review

My best friend used to have only two German Shepherds, Kimmy, aged two, and Rocky, aged 4. However, recently, Kimmy and Rocky had nine puppies. Unfortunately the tenth one was stillborn, but the rest were happy, healthy and bonding well with their parents and also humans, which is important. Six of the puppies were sold at Christmas, ...  Read the complete review

I have a 6-yr old white German Shepherd who is a fantastic pet. He's brilliant with children. Unfortunately he has started snapping at my children if they come near him when he's eating, and bit my one daughter 2 days ago (because she touched him while he was eating) I didn't see him do it, but I don't think he meant to actually bite her, however, this is of great concern to us, so we are looking for a new home for him with someone who has older children or none at all and who will look after him and give him a loving home. This is not a decision we have taken lightly as he is a beloved part of our family and will be sorely missed. Is there anyone who could give him a loving home?

I have always loved Alsations but growing up in a large family, 7 girls and one boy, my mother would only allow us medium sized dogs, we had a labrador cross and a collie cross, both good dogs and friendly, mum said that Alsations were nasty and always turn on their owners. 3 years after I got married a relatives girlfriend was moving ...  Read the complete review

Since I was a little girl, dogs have always been a big part of my life. Mainly Springer Spaniels. I used to breed Spingers many years ago, but as time and kids came along I just kept one for companionship. One spaniel that is. I also kept a beautiful German Shepherd. I think that was more for my daughter than for me. She was ...  Read the complete review

Having grown up with German Shepherd dogs all my life, when I moved out of home I wanted to get a puppy to live with me. I checked out all local breeders and finally found one ready to go 50 miles away. It was love at first sight when I saw the pup. She was just a big ball of fluff with these huge paws.
