First and foremost, they're good at herding sheep. That's what they were originally bred to do. Their particular specialty in herding is called 'boundary style' herding. Unlike Border Collies, which herd relatively small flocks on relatively large plots of land, German Shepherds herd large flocks (200 or more) on small fields. German Shepherds are also good at tracking and protection, which is why they are a popular choice with police departments for police K9s. They are intelligent, good problem solvers, steadfast and biddable, which makes them good guides for the blind and service dogs for people with other kinds of disabilities. They learn fast and have a strong work ethic, which makes them great for sporting competition, such as competition obedience, agility, tracking, and herding. They also make great family pets.
