Breed Characteristics The German Shepherd Dog is nothing short of a highly gifted dog. It's intelligence is theenvy of most of the dog world. It is able to perform almost any task that man has asked of it, including guide dog, avalanche rescue, tracking, watchdog, police dog, drug and bombsniffing, and it is still herding sheep in it's native homeland. Highly intelligent, obedient, easy to train, protective, brave, and fiercely loyal are just someof the words used to describe this breed. Although high intelligence is often a sought after trait in a dog, it is not always a desirable one.

Giving your German Shepherd Dog "responsibilities" around the house will help to make your dog happier, and remember that "this breed only stopslearning once we stop teaching".
