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.

Will a gsd untrained protect its owner?

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.

Why aren't german sheperds fur soft like other dogs?

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.

What are some behavioral adaptations for German Shepperd's?

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.
