German Shepherd Dogs are one of the world’s most beloved and sought-after canine varieties, and with good reason: this friendly and protective breed makes an excellent addition to any household – particularly children – and garden alike, not to mention providing further training opportunities.

Anatomic Structure
German Shepherd Dogs prefer colder climates. Therefore, it’s ideal to keep them in relatively cooler cities. When in hotter conditions they often breathe excessively with their tongues out indicating that more water needs to be taken immediately.

German Shepherd Dogs come with both long and short coats, which don’t alter their personalities as such, though those with longer locks may require additional combing and extra care; therefore the preferred breed of this kind would likely be one with short locks.

German Shepherd dogs come in both classic and black colors, the latter carrying all of the anatomic characteristics characteristic of classic shepherd dogs. Classic colors of German Shepherds become even more valuable if their red fur becomes darker.

Due to their long hair characteristics and body smell, as well as their need for open environments for running and playing, it’s best to keep cats within the garden.

Expectations From Its Owner

German shepherd dogs expect from their owners that the time spent together should be shared; they want the chance to play, run, exercise and walk together daily. Of course this applies to all dog varieties but due to German shepherd dogs’ intense dependence upon their owners it takes precedence for this breed of canine; when their owner can no longer provide this precious time with them then their German Shepherd becomes very discontented indeed.

Character Traits
German Shepherd Dogs’ intelligence and trainability far outstrip those of any other dog variety. Due to their well-balanced personality, German Shepherd Dogs require minimal interactions between family members due to their easygoing dispositions. German Shepherds possess high protection instinct levels as well as being very loyal, loving and non-destructive for children – qualities which have made this variety the top pick among families with young children.

Character Differences
Children often display both protective and social personalities. Protective types may be aggressive and quick to attack while social ones may be more calm when encountering strangers approaching to speak to.

If you want a German shepherd Dog for protective reasons, its predominant character should be defensive; otherwise if not protecting is your goal then one with more social and friendly traits should do just fine.

No matter the purpose, German Shepherd Dogs will amaze with their intelligence and loyalty – offering endless amounts of positive energy during your relationship.
