German Shepherd Dog
Often described as a “one man (or woman) dog,” German Shepherds form extremely strong, affectionate, and loyal bonds with their handlers, wanting to be with them as much as possible. A well-behaved, well-trained German Shepherd should be bold, confident, swift, and intelligent, as well as calm and steady. They should listen well to their owner and be eager to learn and easy to train. They are sensitive and slow to mature, which might require more patience and effort than one might think. But the trade-off is a smiley, happy, Einstein of a dog who will stick by your side no matter what.
