Superb working dogs, German Shepherds are direct and fearless, eager and alert, bold, cheerful, obedient and eager to learn. Known for their tremendous loyalty and courage. Serious and almost human in intelligence and discernment. They have a high learning ability.

German Shepherds love to be close to their families, but they are very wary of strangers. This breed needs people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. German Shepherds have a very strong protective instinct, so they should be extensively socialized to prevent over-guarding when they are an adult.

Aggression and attacks on people are primarily due to poor breeding, handling and training. It is extremely important to purchase your German Shepherd from a reputable breeder, such as VomGuesthuas. A well bred, well-trained gets along well with other pets and is excellent with children in the family. They must be firmly trained in obedience from an early age.

To be truly happy, the German Shepherd needs a task in life. The breed is so intelligent and learns so readily that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard dog, in police work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue service, and in the military.

The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including Schutzhund, tracking, obedience, agility, flyball, and ring sport. His fine nose can sniff out drugs and intruders, and can alert handlers to the presence of underground mines in time to avoid detonation, or gas leaks in a pipes buried 15 feet underground. The German Shepherd is also a popular show and family companion.
