Are German Shepherds suitable as pets?

Yes, German Shepherds are generally good breeders for families. They are intelligent, loyal, and adaptable dogs that are well-suited to forming close relationships with their humans.
The German Shepherd (German Shepherd for short) is a very excellent dog breed that can work as a riot dog, search and rescue dog, tracking dog, shepherd dog, etc. It is also an excellent family companion dog. They have the advantages of alertness and bravery, high obedience, docile personality, powerful appearance, intelligence, easy training, and loyalty.
German Shepherds are larger in size and have a lifespan of 12-13 years. In terms of IQ, German Shepherds rank third, behind Border Collies and Poodles. The hair colors of German Shepherds are generally black, dark brown or gray.

The origin of the German Shepherd can be traced back to Germany at the end of the 19th century. They are excellent dog breeds bred by German dog breeders. During World War I, a large number of German Shepherds were introduced to Britain and sent to the front lines. After the end of World War III, Germany was divided into East Germany and West Germany. The police and soldiers in East Germany used German Shepherds as police dogs and military dogs.

In China, German Shepherds began to be introduced from the Soviet Union and Germany in the 1950s. The German Shepherd is a breed that is very suitable as a family companion dog. They are very loyal and protective of their owners, and are very obedient and docile to their owners. At the same time, the German Shepherd is also a very energetic and intelligent dog that is easy and quick to train. However, due to their large size and large food intake, raising German Shepherds requires a certain amount of economic strength and time investment.

In short, the German Shepherd is a very good breed of dog that is suitable for families. If you want to raise a dog, you can consider a German Shepherd, but you must make full preparations before raising a dog, including purchasing appropriate dog food, taking your dog for vaccinations regularly, bathing and grooming regularly, etc.

I don’t know much about German Shepherd. Generally speaking, it is not suitable for domestic breeding. This is mainly due to the image of German Shepherd in China, the domestic breeding space and the current problems of German Shepherd. Talk about two things around you.
One is a friend who has raised golden retrievers, German shepherds, and Malinois. All three dogs have high obedience. In fact, both German shepherds and golden retrievers are very docile in character. However, since German shepherds entered the country from the beginning, they were used as military and police dogs. For purposes of use, the images that everyone sees (including movies and TV shows) are all fierce and aggressive, and the appearance of German Shepherd is very powerful and large, so the first thing everyone thinks of when seeing German Shepherd is aggression. It is said that there is a certain psychological shadow for the general public, but in fact, the aggressiveness of German Shepherds comes from obedience, high IQ, high body size, and strong strength. These advantages, coupled with training, are not inherently Not a vicious dog😜.
Every time my friend walks her dog, she always walks her dog in the morning when there are fewer people (if she doesn’t walk her dog at night, she just goes out in the garden). She and her husband each hold a golden retriever without a leash, a German Shepherd dog, and a Malinois dog. Here’s the key: Although Golden Retrievers don’t have a leash, they are almost not afraid or disgusted by the people they meet. Horses and dogs are also fine. They don’t look scary and are leash-proof. No one is afraid. But the German Shepherd is different. Even though I think his appearance is a little cute, he can hide from almost anyone he meets, and he often says, “Stay away, there’s a big wolf dog!”

There is also the issue of breed. The German Shepherd is a very excellent dog breed, with strong IQ, obedience, physical strength, endurance and other aspects👍. This is also the basis for the German Shepherd to advance from a shepherd dog to a military police dog. However, in the past ten years, the so-called aesthetic standard of German Shepherds’ climbing span has caused abnormal development of German Shepherds’ body type in breeding. The initial climb is still acceptable, but now it has become completely distorted in terms of aesthetics, and has caused more and more serious frame defects (the initial climb is something that German Shepherds have maintained after long-term training. This is a posture that is ready to go, and currently it is actually breeding for skeleton defects).
This spring, my friend’s brother came to Beijing and originally wanted to pick up two German shepherds to take back to his hometown (my hometown contracted a forest farm and planned to raise a few good dogs to patrol the mountains). He served as a soldier for several years in the early 1990s and came across the army’s German shepherd dogs and liked them very much. I traveled to Tongzhou for three days and visited several German Shepherd kennels. In the end, I couldn’t choose one. The main reason is that the current breed is no longer the same as in the past, and it has serious climbing problems. It doesn’t matter whether it looks good or not. They can no longer be used as working dogs anyway.
German Shepherd strains require a recovery period.
The problem of raising a German Shepherd at home is mainly about space and training, especially training. The image of the German Shepherd is “” deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There aren’t many, so it’s recommended not to raise them. If you really like them and have the space, time and other conditions at home, it’s best to have a garden and just raise them. After all, they are German shepherds, so they are much easier to manage than Huskies😄!
