About the Breed
German Shepherds Personality and Traits
Overview: The German Shepherd is strong, courageous and obedient. They are intelligent, loyal and focused which makes them highly trainable. German Shepherds are often sought out as guard dogs and protectors. These dogs make exceptional loving family dogs. German Shepherds tend to be indifferent to strangers and can be unfriendly. However, once they become your friend, their loyalty is for a lifetime. Their acceptance of strangers really depends on the amount of socialization you give your dog. The more you socialize, the more outgoing and accepting of strangers they will be.
Behavioral Traits:
The German Shepherds nature is to protect, which is why they make great guard and police dogs. Because they are highly intelligent, when trained, they can be both excellent service and family dogs. Once they bond with their family, they become protective by nature. It is important to train your dog to recognize welcome and unwelcome visitors. They will often bark at strangers, but proper training at an early age will help this intelligent dog to recognize a normal social routine. A well-trained German Shepherd can learn to do most anything. They can be an active breed but should be of even disposition, calm, loyal, patient, attentive and confident. While they tend to be bold, they should not be unnecessarily aggressive.
