The Breeding of German Shepherd Excellence Karen Cedergren 815-914-6696 Email Karen Winnebago, Illinois
The German Shepherd
- The German Shepherd Dog is a strong, agile, well-muscled dog,
alert and full of life. They are extremely intelligent and make a
wonderful companion, show or obedience dog. There is a misconception
that working dogs do not make great family pets, they do. Dogs are
in many ways like people with emotions and attitudes. German
Shepherds are one breed that becomes truly bonded to their family
and should be a one family dog that is not transferred from home to
home. They excel in serving their masters, and they are continually
responsive. The German Shepherd is exceptionally trainable and
works well as a police, guide, service, or search and rescue dog.
They are lively, intelligent and very strong. They are excellent in
agility and obedience tests. Well-mannered German Shepherds should
be calm, consistent in attitude, obedient and alert. Some lines of
the German Shepherd have become nervous and aggressive due to poor
breeding tactics and the popularity of the breed. Overall and
generally though, the German Shepherd is an ideal breed. They are
large and alert enough to protect, and are loving and friendly
towards
friends and family. German Shepherds are powerful dogs that are lean
enough to have great agility. They are excellent with children.
They also enjoy a communal living environment provided they were
raised with the other members, such as cats. They have a handsome
look, with prick ears and an evenly dispersed weight. They have
perpendicular hocks when they stand, rather than angled, which makes
them look as if they are posing for a photo. Some have long hair and
some have short. And either can be black and red, black and tan,
black, gray, tan, gold or white, although white and gold are not
accepted by some associations. German Shepherds make an ideal
pet--fun, friendly, and desiring to serve.
