German shepherds
are large dogs known for their noble, diligent, loyal, and highly
intelligent dispositions. They're characterized by a brown and black
coat and a streamlined, athletic build that makes them both strong and
agile. Though they are excellent herding dogs, German shepherds are also
very well suited to work as service animals, such as guide dogs for the
blind. They also perform well as working dogs, especially in police and
military operations and make highly effective guard dogs. Of course, the
German shepherd dog also makes a wonderful companion in the right home.
