Best Answer

German Shepherds are HERDING dogs. German shepherds are third smartest. Plus, Rottweilers are bred for guarding, Shepherds are bred for being loyal smart powerful and sweet companions to herders and to know how to fight off wolves and coyotes from sheep. Shepherds are less bulky with stronger bite power, better agility, and thicker fur. But Rottweilers have larger bulging muscles, while Shepherds have flatter muscles.

They have just as much strength, but their muscles and flatter and less visible. German shepherds come in white, black, and the way they are most commonly known, tan with a black saddle. But Rottweilers have smooth black fur with outlined tan eyebrows and underbelly and chin. Plus Rottweilers have only short hair, while shepherds come with long smooth coat that can be from 1 to 5 inches long.

No. They are NOT guarding dogs. They are herding dogs, but commonly known as guard dogs because they were bred to GAURD sheep and fight off wolves from the flocks. Also they are known to be attack dogs because 75% of police dogs are Shepherds. German shepherds ARE protective of their owners and children. I would trust a shepherd with a baby in the deep end of a pool.
They are sweet but protective... but not EXTREMELY protective. Just mildly.
