I love dogs
Especially German Shepherds
Generally considered dogkind's finest all-purpose worker, the German Shepherd Dog is a large, agile, muscular dog of
noble character and high intelligence. Loyal, confident, courageous, and steady, the German Shepherd is truly a dog
lover's delight. German Shepherd Dogs can stand as high as 26 inches at the shoulder and, when viewed in outline,
presents a picture of smooth, graceful curves rather than angles. The natural gait is a free-and-easy trot, but they can
turn it up a notch or two and reach great speeds.
Most commonly, German Shepherds are either tan/black or red/black. Most colour varieties have black masks and black body
markings which can range from a classic "saddle" to an overall "blanket". Rarer colour variations include sable,
pure-black, pure-white, liver, silver, blue, and panda varieties. The all-black and sable varieties are acceptable
according to most standards; however, the blue and liver are considered to be serious faults and the all-white is
grounds for instant disqualification from showing in conformation at All Breed and Specialty Shows.
There are many reasons why German Shepherds stand in the front rank of
canine royalty, but experts say their defining attribute is character: loyalty, courage, confidence, the ability to
learn commands for many tasks, and the willingness to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. German
Shepherds will be gentle family pets and steadfast guardians, but, the breed standard says, there's a 'certain aloofness
that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships
