German Shepherd dogs are herding, working, therapy, and service dogs. The German Shepherd’s ability to guard his people and property comes from his herding instincts. When visitors approach the family house he will begin barking, and if a stranger approaches the family children, he will begin a low growl. Because of this instinct, the German Shepherd does not greet everyone with a smile and a wagging tail. Instead, the German Shepherd has the ability to discern between friendly and dangerous situations. If necessary, German Shepherds will stand firm and look the intruder in the eyes. Still, known friends will be recognized and greeted with a slight wag of the tail.

Whether protecting his family or law-enforcement partner, or guiding his blind owner, the German Shepherd does everything whole-heartedly and gives his master unconditional love, companionship, and protection. Regardless of the color of his coat, the loyal heart of the German Shepherd dog beats the same. There are a wide variety of coats and colors to choose from and the choice is merely a matter of personal preference.
