German Shepherd

Quote from an Owner: The German Shepherd can have many tones or depth of the color pattern.  It is common for the males to hold color better and for the females to lighten (or grizzle) along the top of the back.  Males are usually 10-20 lbs. heavier than a female and differences in temperament are NOT based upon the dogs' gender. If you have been happy or heard stories relating to a particular sex of pet, it would be understandable to acquire one of your own of that gender.  If you plan to breed, get a female. If size is an issue, get a male.  ~Bobbi Oawster, vom Haus Drage

Temperament: German Shepherds are intelligent dogs. They are generally good with children if raised with them. Ask to see the parents to get an idea of their temperament.

The WDA and USA are both well-recognized organizations emphasizing that German Shepherd Dogs of breeding stock hold to a higher level of standards. This includes sureness to a gun, endurance, obedience, tracking ability and, of course, the willingness to protect for which the German Shepherd Dog is so well known.
