A Ger
man Shepherd Dog Breeder will let you know that this is one of the oldest of dog breeds and that it was created by crossing a "shepherd" dog and a wolf. This dog is not only smart and brave but is perfect to get trained and is used a lot for police work, as a rescue dog, in the military and as a guide dog for the sight impaired. German Shepherds Dog Breeders will also inform you that they are divided into three categories or varieties, there is the stiff haired, which is the most common, the long stiff haired, quite uncommon, and the long haired, which although very loved is weaker and has more health problems than the prior two types. German shepherds are one of the most famous and common of all dog breeds because of its intelligence, faithfulness, loyalty to its owners and willingness and extraordinary ability with which it trains. In order to be well behaved the German shepherd needs to distinguish one person as its owner and be handled with decisiveness and fairness. German Shepherd Dog Breeders also say that the owners need to be careful of the fact that this breed has a predisposition to be excessively protective of the family that it lives with, as it will consider the family as part of it's flock. German shepherds are very energetic and need to be allowed to work, walk,
run around and feel useful. German Shepherd Dog Breeders say that when these dogs don't get enough mental stimulation they quickly become weak and unruly. This dog will do better being outside in the garden or yard rather then stuck inside house all day long.
