ive owned pitbulls and dobermans and i do not like German shepards .Theres a young man i know he has two of them and they come in the dog park and try to bully smaller dogs like colies ,labs ecs. and bullies couse that's egsactly what they are .Like 3 or 4 months ago i was talking the my 3 year old doberman out to the park and there they were tearing into a border collie mix my doberman loves that dog and well lets just say he lost it and he attacked the biggest gsd and the other one went to his owner wile the collie had to have serios work to his scull and that's not the only thing theve done .When i was about 12 years old my best frieinds had a great dane who was only 8 month and a 6 year old gsd police dog attacked him from behind and he had to have stiches ,but last month the some gsd that my dobie went for ,was attacking a red nose pit and it was talking the piss of the pitbull but the pit got the last laugh when the gsd didnt ecspect it the pitbull got a lock in its leg and it chiped its bone and know the gsd dousnt even look its way but its still bullies other dogs , you see German shepards were built to protect so naturally they have a nasty streek and in the wrong hands can be dangerous.
They like themselfs to smell like sand and fish.
An Ocelot walks around. It also runs from predators. An Ocelot crawls!!!!!!!!! like cats and dogs and animals like that!!!! Also they climb!
GSDs swim brilliantly. But you should expose your pup to the water early and often, so they do not develop a fear or are apprehensive about getting in the water when they are older. GSDs like routine and they thrive off of their human leaders, so make sure you spend a lot of time socializing them, introducing them to new situations (like swimming in a lake) and pampering them with love.
Labradors are considered a good breed of dogs around cats. If your cat doesn't like dogs though, then that may be a problem.
You and dogs can't live without water!!!!!!!
German shephards make excelent police dogs
doberman is better for a family,alot af gsds like to play rough and if there kids around they could get hurt also gsds have a habit of jumping up and attacking random people wile dobermans only protect the house and the people in it gsds are just to crazy
gsds can sence the dobermans comfidence and it scares them ,normally if a gsd spots a doberman they will usually go to the ground and if the doberman comes neer the gsd will attack ,they do this because they are very insecure dogs and they don't like dogs with comfidence i know this cause i yoused to work for a gsd rescue shelter and i found out alot about this breed they have a bad rep and they make good guard dogs
I am a personal protection dog trainer and the best dogs for that are gsds (German Shepherd Dogs) and rottweilers. For e.g. gsds are very insecure and bond well with usually 1 or 2 people and they will do anything to protect them and just to let you know there all like this but they don't usually get their guarding instinct until they're around 1 year, oh and a little tip, when he or she is 8 to11 months don't socialise them for a two week period.
It is possible, but it is very rare in puppies, it usually happens with older dogs.
No, actually GSDs (German shepherd dogs) are very popular. They are on the top five owned in America list.

German Shepherd Dogs were originally bred to drive cattle, herd sheep and handle similar tasks around a farm. Therefore, they spent a lot of time outdoors in brush, thickets, and heath, which would have torn and matted a soft coat. Also, denser, harsher fur is good protection against the elements. GSDs, however, are not the only dogs with a rough coat; many herding dogs, such as collies and briards, have coarse hair, as do some spitz-type breeds and terriers.
They like or want to
why are you asking if MY dogs have dots around their eyes(which they dont)?if you are talking about YOUR dogs then you might want to get that looked at because i dont think they should have dots around their eyes unless its just fur that looks like spots like dalmations have
like around 1 or 2
Dogs, like people are individuals with their own personalities so there is no generalisation or rigid formula to certain breed's behaviour. However, some characteristics of the German Shepard breed include:Generally an intelligent breed, one animal behaviourist's experimentation in placing breed on a IQ continuum determined that GSDs would be the third smartest breed. Such dogs, if bored, can become destructive, but that's depends on each individual, their breeding and their upbringing. GSDs are Working Dogs (originally bred to herd and guard large livestock), and most wouldn't be content to have nothing to do or have little mental stimulus.They're good guard dogs and family dogs though generally not as good with children as some other breeds such as Rough Collies or Boxers.Unlike some smaller dogs and some more aggressive breeds such as Dobermanns, GSDs are not as easily excitable, meaning that they are generally calmer and less likely to go into flight-or-fight mode (the more common reaction for dogs would be fight, which is why some breeds can be more unpredicatbale and dangerous than others).Unlike some breeds such as Pit bulls, some Mastiffs and Boxers (so called "bully breeds"), GSDs are relatively easy to socialise with other dogs.They're excellent family dogs but they're also one-man dogs. This usually isn't a problem but it can potentially become one if just that one person (the one the dog sees as pack leader) plays the leader role (feeding the dog, taking for walks, bonding etc.) Again, it depends on the dog's personality.
