Dog Breeds - German Shepherd
on
Published in Cats & Dogs News
German Shepherds are highly intelligent, agile and well-suited to active working environments and are often deployed in various roles such as police work, guarding, search and rescue, therapy, in the military, as well as guide dogs for the blind. Despite their suitability for such work, German Shepherds can also make loyal and loving pets as they enjoy being around people and other animals.
The breed was originated by Captain Max von Stephanitz in 1899 who admired the German landrace herding dogs and, aware of the declining need for them, believed they had the potential to be all-purpose working dogs. He was clearly correct as the German Shepherd remains one of the world's most popular breeds.
