  • Yes, German Shepherds are brilliant dogs and they are very loyal. They will protect you too. iI have a German Shepherd and she is very loyal, loves kids and gets along with other dogs too. I would defiantly recommend a German Shepherd as a pet.
  • Yeah, I personally think that German Shepherds are the best dogs to have with a family. They are loyal,and great with children. If you are going to pick a dog, you should defiantly pick the German Shepherd Dog.
  • However like all dogs, German Shepherds can be very vicious if they aren't trained properly so if you plan to have one, especially around children, make sure it receives proper training so it doesn't bite anybody.

German Shepherd's are excellent dogs but are not for the weak willed.

They need a firm but kind owner and not an aggressive mean one.

Consider carefully.

German Shepard's are really good pets but some times they can turn out to be a little too aggressive and you might have to put them down but not usually if you get them from a puppy

Which dog breeds would be good guard dogs and would get along well with each other?

German Shepherds are a fantastic breed to have for protection, and they do quite well with other German Shepherds and different breeds as well. Most breeds of dogs can get along, the key is training. Poor training will produce poorly behaved dogs that do not get along and can be aggressive. Firm training will produce highly trained and sound of mind animals. I recommend German Shepherds, as an owner of 2, and a Mom of 2 little ones, I see how protective yet loving additions to the family they can make.
