  • 12/12/2011

What type of bond will you build with your German Shepherd? If you want to know how to really keep your German Shepherd faithful and devoted, read this short article in full.

The German shepherd is one of the most amazing types to walk this planet. They come from Germany and were cross-bred from the encircling areas - Wurttemberg, Bavaria and Thuringia. These dogs are fine-looking and smart, and they are workers in farms and ranches even before they started winning dog shows. They standard 25 inches in height. It has much potential if the owner makes an attempt to boost its ability. After all, this breed is also used as service and guide canines due to its intelligence.

These pet dogs are commonly found in military camps and in law enforcement command centre. However, simply because it is used in such hazardous professions, do not think it can't be kept as a family pet. This breed is a delight to have around.

It's important to learn more about your dog's temperament before you get your dog from the shop.

First of all, let me make it clear that each dog could have its own personality. Although German Shepherds have unique personalities, there are common dog breed traits. These features may help with training. A bad owner may inadvertently raise a dog that's uncaring for others, and confrontational towards other people and pets.

A typical German shepherd is courageous, dutiful and lively. They are also fast learners. They may show reserved conduct in the midst of strangers, but they are likely to show their fun side in the company of family and friends. They like to mingle with their owners and loathe being left alone.

These dogs are not slothful creatures. They need to stretch their muscles and would appreciate everyday jobs and being given things to complete around the residence. They show the "can perform" attitude when they are given a complex task. They tend to think about tactics to make the work more effortless. For example, when it is used as a law enforcement dog, they may be active when needed, or wait tolerantly for hours when the situation demands it!

When used as a guide dog by the visually impaired, you will see these dogs guiding his or her master in an alert and agile manner on the streets. Unlike other breeds, they stick with a job when it's not play time.

When properly socialised and taught, their behaviour will be immaculate as they're dutiful and wish to please their master. The German shepherd can be aggressive at times. The aggressive spirit can come out when the owner doesn't look after socialisation for the dog. For example, if the a German shepherd's owner does not make an effort to socialise and train its pet, then its aggressive nature will come out in front of strangers and other pets. German shepherds are recognised for being protective and territorial for their family and owner. This is why a German shepherd is the ideal sentry dog. This aggressive conduct can be controlled through education.

Lastly, there is much potential in the your dog; all it needs is an effective and dedicated owner willing to invest time and effort for this fantastic pet. It will be worth it because you'll have a friend for life!
