German Shepherd Dogs are fierce but friendly. Photography by Grigorita Ko \/ Shutterstock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nGerman Shepherd Dogs are fierce but friendly, and have a calm confidence that may seem kind of aloof. When in need, however, a GSD is instantly ready to protect, play a game or perform a task \u2014 in some cases as a guard dog<\/a>, police dog, herder, seeing eye dog or other service dog<\/a>. With a strong work ethic and an eager intelligence, they crave challenges.<\/p>\nNot to be left alone in the house too long, German Shepherd Dogs crave interaction and involvement. They are fiercely protective of their homes and families \u2014 sometimes known to \u201cherd\u201d children \u2014 and they get along with other pets. Standoffish and detached with strangers or those outside the family unit, they have been known to \u201cover-guard\u201d or bark protectively.<\/p>\n
German Shepherd Dogs have great instincts and fertile minds. Lots of activity and exercise will make them happy, but tracking, obedience and agility games<\/a> \u2014 or any task-oriented activity \u2014 will make them even happier. A bored or neglected German Shepherd Dog may resort to chewing<\/a> furniture, digging up flowers and other mischief.<\/p>\nThings You Should Know About German Shepherd Dogs<\/h3>\n
The benefits of a GSD \u2014 loyalty, protectiveness and eagerness, to name a few \u2014 come from careful obedience training and authority. Everyone in the household must to show \u201cauthority\u201d and earn the dog\u2019s respect with a firm but loving touch. They do not respond to negativity or anger. Once achieved, this respect may need to be earned again and again.<\/p>\n
German Shepherd Dogs don\u2019t need to be bathed very often,<\/a> but they tend to shed in great quantities. Brush them daily, outside if possible. Like any large dog, they can handle apartment living<\/a> quite well but need daily walks and, if possible, vigorous exercise<\/a> to stay sharp.<\/p>\nSome common health problems include hip and elbow dysplasia, skin allergies<\/a> and pancreas deficiencies, They normally live up to 12 years.<\/p>\nGerman Shepherd Dog History<\/h3>\n![\"German](\"https:\/\/s36700.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/shutterstock_1617311181.jpg.optimal.jpg\")
German Shepherd Dogs are actually a pretty new breed. Photography by Runa Kazakova \/ Shutterstock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe German Shepherd Dog is a relatively new breed, almost entirely developed in the 20th century. Attempting to create a standard herding dog for his country, German breeder Capt. Max von Stephanitz invented the Deutsche Sch\u00e4ferhunde in 1899 from a mix of early shepherd dogs having various coat lengths, textures, body types and colors. Stephanitz\u2019s aim was to develop a standard sheep-herding dog with the solid intelligence and work ethic to assist farm workers and laborers as well as police and soldiers. Standardized in Germany in 1901, the German Shepherd Dog came to America in 1907 and flourished with the help of organizations like the German Shepherd Dog Club of America.<\/p>\n

German Shepherd Dogs are fierce but friendly. Photography by Grigorita Ko \/ Shutterstock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n German Shepherd Dogs are fierce but friendly, and have a calm confidence that may seem kind of aloof. When in need, however, a GSD is instantly ready to protect, play a game or perform a task \u2014 in some cases as a guard dog<\/a>, police dog, herder, seeing eye dog or other service dog<\/a>. With a strong work ethic and an eager intelligence, they crave challenges.<\/p>\n
Not to be left alone in the house too long, German Shepherd Dogs crave interaction and involvement. They are fiercely protective of their homes and families \u2014 sometimes known to \u201cherd\u201d children \u2014 and they get along with other pets. Standoffish and detached with strangers or those outside the family unit, they have been known to \u201cover-guard\u201d or bark protectively.<\/p>\n
German Shepherd Dogs have great instincts and fertile minds. Lots of activity and exercise will make them happy, but tracking, obedience and agility games<\/a> \u2014 or any task-oriented activity \u2014 will make them even happier. A bored or neglected German Shepherd Dog may resort to chewing<\/a> furniture, digging up flowers and other mischief.<\/p>\n
Things You Should Know About German Shepherd Dogs<\/h3>\n
The benefits of a GSD \u2014 loyalty, protectiveness and eagerness, to name a few \u2014 come from careful obedience training and authority. Everyone in the household must to show \u201cauthority\u201d and earn the dog\u2019s respect with a firm but loving touch. They do not respond to negativity or anger. Once achieved, this respect may need to be earned again and again.<\/p>\n
German Shepherd Dogs don\u2019t need to be bathed very often,<\/a> but they tend to shed in great quantities. Brush them daily, outside if possible. Like any large dog, they can handle apartment living<\/a> quite well but need daily walks and, if possible, vigorous exercise<\/a> to stay sharp.<\/p>\n
Some common health problems include hip and elbow dysplasia, skin allergies<\/a> and pancreas deficiencies, They normally live up to 12 years.<\/p>\n
German Shepherd Dog History<\/h3>\n
German Shepherd Dogs are actually a pretty new breed. Photography by Runa Kazakova \/ Shutterstock.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The German Shepherd Dog is a relatively new breed, almost entirely developed in the 20th century. Attempting to create a standard herding dog for his country, German breeder Capt. Max von Stephanitz invented the Deutsche Sch\u00e4ferhunde in 1899 from a mix of early shepherd dogs having various coat lengths, textures, body types and colors. Stephanitz\u2019s aim was to develop a standard sheep-herding dog with the solid intelligence and work ethic to assist farm workers and laborers as well as police and soldiers. Standardized in Germany in 1901, the German Shepherd Dog came to America in 1907 and flourished with the help of organizations like the German Shepherd Dog Club of America.<\/p>\n

He has a slightly convex forehead, long muzzle, pointed ears and almond-shaped eyes that are set (as opposed to protruding) with an amiable expression.
