To Be Clear: German shepherds are wonderful dogs. They are good companions and they are loyal and fearless. Their behavioral features and excellent intelligence distinguish them even more. GSDs succeed in nearly everything they're trained to do, including guide and assistance work for the disabled, police and military duty, herding, search and rescue, drug detection, competitive obedience, and, last but not least, true companionship. As a German Shepherd owner, there are some things you must never do to ensure you get the best outcome, and in this video, we will talk about 5 things you must never do to your German Shepherd.

My son bought me my GSD when I failed to commit suicide! She’s 18 months old now and is so clever at understanding my needs I’m going out three times a day now and managing to talk to strangers in a positive way The doctor understands that I take her everywhere and has made a note on my file that she is my service dog , this just kind of happened naturally and for the first time in years I go shopping by myself and my life has opened up hugely My problem is PTSD due to my time in the military and I have anger issues and anxiety I managed to convince myself that everyone is a idiot and not worth spit now I have other dog walkers I enjoy having brief conversations with It is not a exaggeration to state that my GSD has saved my life
Wishing you the best, persevere!
Im 72 and had GSD's all my life. There is no better breed on the planet as long as you treat them right. With love and patience.
Amen!
@@troybard2130 100%
Exactly Correct Mr. Alvarez 👍👍
Agreed.
How to and what to treat them?
I might be biased, but i think German Shepards have got the most gentle eyes. Epic breed.🐶♥️🐶
BEST DOG YOU CAN EVER HAVE!
They are the most incredible dogs on the planet!
Never lay on the couch. Never go to the bathroom and shut the door. Never refuse the ropey toy. Miss my Jake so much!!
My beautiful Kia is my 9th GSD. My first lived to 15.5 and I thought she could never be replaced.....she wasn't...they are all wonderful and different and now in my 70's I am told I should go for a smaller dog but no thank you. I will stay with Shepherds till my dying day if at all possible. They are the best breed on this earth
I agree GSD ARE THE BEST!!!!
What you said is Really great.... Woof ta you
I am 86, and on my 5th GSD. She is almost 6 months old now, so there's a good chance she'll survive me. They are great dogs!
Where do you get your Shepherds?
Duke passed away 10 yrs ago aged 8 ,there is still hardly a family gathering when Duke isn't mentioned ,a big handsome black n tan family guardian, what a guy he was
My wife and I rescued a beautiful Schutzhund GSD off of the street. Skinny, no toe nails, and very street wise. So skinny,... after 10 days of the best dog food you can buy, I came home to 10,... yes, 10 puppies! We had to hustle to get the proper winter set up. Cedar chips, enclosed igloo, and heating pad for the pups. We lost 3 because of a huge winter storm that dropped temps to below 0°F. Cie-Cie layed on them. But the other 6 did well. We've kept 3 of the pups. They will be 2 years old in December. Females are Miss Texas, and Faith. Panzer is our big boy. He's already 95 lbs. of lean muscle. Cie-Cie is 80 lbs. of pure Protection Dog. Very jealous of any other female being around me. She's not hurt any of our other dogs or cats, and prefers the company of our 18 lb. male cat "Maximilian". I grew up with a 135 lb. great-great-great Grandson of Rin Tin Tin. I thought nothing could compare with the love that dog had for my Dad, but I was wrong. Cie-Cie's sleeping beside me as I write this. I pray the old saying "All dogs go to Heaven" is true. God Bless y'all's GSDs, and yourselves. Alpha male signing off.
Are you using the term “Schutzhund” GSD to describe the dogs lineage from say East Germany or the Czech Republic or was the dog already trained to understand German commands and be highly proficient in obedience, tracking and protection ? Just curious.
@@charleshayman4083 Lineage, yes. I've trained her. Great strength and agility rivaling a Malinois. Very fast. She loves our old poodle and cat. I had to overcome some troubles with jealousy.
My two GSDs, Max and Sasha, were my best friends and when they died, 16 months apart, it nearly killed me! RIP Max and Sasha! You are surely missed!
Like you, I cry about losing my GSD that passed away 2 years ago. They are greatest thing ever!! How I wish I had him.
So sorry for your loss it is like loosing a best friend 💔
💝💞😔🤗🤗🤗God bless you! Pay it forward...there are more GSDs that need your love, even if they never take the place of your beloved best friends. On your schedule, please love again.🐾
@@sallystevenson2235 Thank you so much. It really is! Someone you see every day who is in love with you and adores you. God bless!
💔💔🥺
My GSD is a lifesaver, she was a rescue, she was terribly abused, when we went to see her, her left front lagg was in a cast, broken ribbs, and so malnourished her survival was extremely low, we got her at 5 years old, she now over 8, extremely energetic, 80 pounds, in perfect shape, she loves the horses, and great with are little Shitzu, she is fiercely protective, we put her on a leash when company comes, she doesn't bite, but jumps and barks, it scares people, she goes everywhere with us, she loves the boat, she loves to go hunting with us and she is very good with kids, I am a GSD owner for life now
Thank God for you
Breaks my heart! What monster can abuse such loyal and loving dog (or any dog). My GSD has such innocent and loving gaze. I love him to death
😅
My GSD, Roscoe P. Coltrane, 100% understands spoken language. There are certain words like “ball” that he will flip out and cry over. I know he understands the word itself because I say it without any verbal gestures.
My Duke is the smartest dog I have ever had! Yes, he expects to have a routine every day! He loves kids, and wants to help me garden! I was spading and he jumped in the bed and started digging too! He tries to "herd" our cats and gets upset if they try to sharpen their claws on the furniture. He thinks that's his Job! I got my wheelchair stuck in my garden and my room mate had come in to cool off. Duke stayed out with me. When I couldn't get "unstuck" I said "Duke, can you go get Melanie? Get her! Tell her to help Mama! Mama needs Mama Melonie! He took off and went on the back porch, opened the kitchen door, and started whining at Melonie until she said "Where's Mama? And he started barking and started going to the door and stopping until she followed him and "rescued" me! She told everyone how he came and got her to come to my rescue! He's just so smart and seems to know things people don't believe a dog could know or understand.
My dog is similar. He wants to help me with everything. They truly are working dogs who thrive on having a job or jobs to do for their owner.
I’m in my 50’s and live alone,no wife or kids.i have had three rescue German Shepherds so far.everything you said has pretty much spot on.they thrive on routine and structure.when I go to work I have to leave them for 8 hours at a time and hate to have to do it.but when I’m not at work we spend every minute together and get a lot of physical and mental exercise.it can be done if you work.they truly are a special breed.
❤
O yea I have to I didn't work so I'm good and them is good to
It wouldn’t hurt to have a regular dog walker.
Yes, they are a Loyal, Trusting, Loving Working Companion! She Loves to not only run, play, Retrieve, and work, our Lucy Loves to carry in Groceries and carry a bag of garbage to the dumpster! We Love GSD'S ...our Lucy is Exceptional! She from a young age Loves to sing Happy Birthday whether she hears us sing it or hears it on a video...she is the best howler, she can say Mom and Mama when she needs something and she gives little random kisses on our hands or legs when she appreciates things done for her! Thank you Lucy for being the Best! We Love you!
You’re never alone when you have a GSD ❤️❤️. Never 😂🥰. They are loyal,smart ,funny,energetic and a best friend who cares for you above everything else. True love and security is just a bit of a GSD traits.
My GSD understands hundreds of words. I talk to her all the time, always have.
Understanding no , reconizing yes 😂
@@recklessgenesis3476 she can pick specific toys out of 70 toys. You have never seen a dog like mine.. you never will the fact that you don't know what dogs are capable of shows why you have an average dog. My dog is a genius in her five short years she has saved a child at a dog park interceded and blocked him from being bitten in the face, she received an award from the mayor. Another time we were walking through the parking lot of a mosque cuz she stopped and alerted growled and wouldn't leave the police were called long story short the cops ran a check on the guy who was sitting under a tree with a backpack they found out he had explosives in his backpack the article in the newspaper the next day in our town said unknown dog was instrumental in discovering suspect she had growled and growled and growled and barked would not move and the cops called the were called on her from all the ruckus. She's never done it before and she's never done it since.. She has saved my life multiple times she is always watching me and knows exactly what's going on. She has impeccable manners and looks She's a black German Shepherd I can take her anywhere she's flown thousands of miles with me she's a great swimmer and she understands everything I say. She's smarter than you are by far
Mine is the same!
@@recklessgenesis3476 you've never had a dog like mine you have no idea she's up for an award from the mayor, found a guy with an explosive at a mosque. And this was all in her first three years of life she saved a child at a dog park that was being attacked by another dog. She saved me from a rape, or sexual assault at least she saved the neighbor's car when someone was trying to break into it jumped over the fence and ran after the guy. She understands everything I tell her she was impatient at NIH with me for 22 days I can take her anywhere she's kind to people in wheelchairs and special needs people she has an inherent sense she knows over 200 words and knows exactly what they mean
@@tigertalks1567 i have a german Shepherd and had 3 before it 🤣🤣🤣 you dont know me and yet you asume things , loser
I'm currently walking and training a 2 yr old Shepherd who is just the most gentle soul I've ever met in a dog bar one. It's taken me a couple of months to fully win her respect, love and loyalty but it has been so worth it and I'll be gutted when this routine comes to an end. So much so I am currently looking for a Shepherd of my own to bring up to hopefully be her match and my very own constant companion. I've had numerous dogs before but this one really has gotten into my heart in a big way.
It's been two years since I had to part with Murphy as he turned thirteen. He was my second German Shepherd, my first named Beau lived to be twelve. After this last heartbreak I realise I can't go through this again, but never forgotten. Incredible dogs.
I’m the same had three last one was fifteen my god it still hurts after ten years
I lost my first GSD Loki in August 2019, He was 14.5 yrs old. And Perfect. Literally saved my life 3 times! Once by standing off a Mountain Lion! 14 years and he and only had one disagreement. He just did nothing wrong. The loss was crushing. I was not going to get another dog because I already had the best one and everything would pale by comparison. November 2019 I get a call from a shelter, Roki 2yr old GSD needs adopted, was set to be euthanized the next day. I went to meet him. Took him home that night! He's not Loki, he's not perfect, but in some ways he's better. The constant is the love and loyalty they give. I'm glad I took the risks and got another Shepherd, yeah he'll break my heart too, unless I go first. Remember no dog is truly dead so long as someone remembers, and loves them.
Hi Damien... we know exactly how you feel... we lost our beautiful Shepherd when he was 15... not a day goes by that he isnt missed
God bless you. I hope you change your mind. You have so much love to give and there are so many dogs that need it. I pray for your heart to heal and that someday you will share your love with another dog. God bless you. 💞
@@williamdenton1410 Heartwrenching😭. So glad you decided to share your love again.👍😃
The smartest dog and the best friend I ever had. I think about him everyday.
The part about having a routine is really true. We call our guy "The Rain Man" because he's so regimented. Also, they do understand language. We've resorted to spelling certain words in front of him, but now he's figuring that out. They're such good companions because of their intelligence...
animals need to come in 2 x 2...we sleep 8 hours.work for 8 hours and spend very little time with them...its terrible for them...they can not use computors or see clocks and a stuffed toy is stupid after awhile..no friends but you is sad for them..
Lol I spell p-a-r-k 🤣
we often have to use different words that convey the same meaning, saying anything with walk in it is just not good if its around walk times.
I taught our girl sign language sit, come down.
Mine goes crazy when he notices another cat in our yard then our own, we had to spell c a t lately and the smartass already figured that out. Anytime anyone says cat or c a t he goes in a "i need to defend my yard" mode 😂
I lost my big old 11 year old girl GSD and I’m still heartbroken despite having with me her grandson…. GSD are the greatest dogs anyone can have. I trusted my life and my family’s to them both….
Luna is my fifth GSD, rescued (at approximately age 3). I cannot imagine life without her. She has her own routine and keeps me on schedule. She isn’t a “dog” - she’s my roommate and best friend. I definitely do NOT recommend GSD for folks who aren’t prepared for this amazing companion.
I don't think of my German Shepherd as a "dog" either. He is highly intelligent, and he knows words, sentences, and their meanings. I never taught him any of that. He has a big box full of toys and I ask him sometimes to get me different toys out of the box, and he gets the right one for me, each and every time. They are truly amazing and wonderful dogs. I can fully understand why police use them, and that they are used in a variety of settings like Guide dogs, and dogs for the disabled.
I've had four GSDs in my life. ALL were rescues! Two had been abused. But after a few weeks with me knew they were loved, and were wonderful friends and companions. The last one died young at 6 years old; Cancer. That was May 2018. I haven't been able to want another dog. Maybe someday. But I advise you to study this breed before taking them into your home. This short video helps, but there is much more you need to know... They WILL learn your routine, and hold you to it! If you're up at 4;30 Monday through Friday, don't expect to sleep in on the weekend! They won't let you "oversleep"! If you take a walk after supper, they will be ready rain, snow, or blizzard! Don't think you'll skip a day! They LOVE routine! My dogs all learned "work" meant I had to go away for a while, and they had to stay in "their room" (the utility room or Master bathroom.) They knew the sound of my car's engine too, and my coming home meant instant outside time!!! Again, rain, shine, or blizzard. But the Love and Loyalty they give in return! You'll never have a better friend!!! They are worth the constant shedding, the multiple walks each day. Everything!!! They are wonderful animals!!! If you have never had one before, do some research. If you have, you know what I'm talking about. If Love alone could have kept them young and healthy, they would live forever.
Spot on. I’ve had dogs my entire life, great as they all were, nothing compares to the bond I enjoy with my now 4 year old German Shepard!!! And BTW, the first three years were at times a challenge!
Been around gsd since 1948 . I have one now (Rex) he won’t leave my side. Don’t know what he’ll do if I’m attacked. He might lick that person (lol). I’m 82 he’s 4. If I go first he goes to a veteran. A great companion.
My first GSD was when I was six. I'm now 69. And it's so nice to hear never be spontaneous because in my human life I've been condemned for lack of spontaneity. My current best friend is definitely the most challenging and definitely the smartest. He knows 19 words. Play it must be my fault he really acts like my ex-husband. Both of us know damn well he knows what I just said to him and he just plays dumb.
My GSD rocky was almost 14 when we had to say goodbye. I have not cried that hard in years.We were all there for him when he crossed over. we miss him so much His younger brother Scout is still with us. These are the best family dogs. They are so damned smart and easy to train. They are fierce when it came to protect our family.They are wonderful with children. They never ever bit or even groweled at any of my kids ever.You must be very cautious however when you have strangers over to the house. They go into sentinal mode real quick when a stranger invaded their turf. .
I have a 2 year old White German Shepherd. We leave him for 8 hours when we go to work and he's happy staying home all my himself. No destruction and no howling while we're gone. We monitor him through furbo and he's either in balcony watching birds, people or on the couch relaxing, waiting for us to come home. He's pretty good with kids and other dogs (small, medium and large sizes) so far.
I've had 5 German Shepherds..All female. The reason they work with police department is not because they are vicious its because they are really intelligent. Super smart .I compare them to little kids. They understand what your telling them but sometimes they don't listen. Just like little ones...
@@jamesmaiorana1875 🤣🤣🤣 I agree 💯 my German shepherd puppy is amazing. She my little girl 🤣
John 3:16 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Amen 🙏!
I'm sorry , I have no doubt you love your GSD , But 8 hours is for too long to be leaving any dog.
what magic did you work for that
A cross between a nanny and a cop (@3:39) sums it up perfectly when speaking about the GSD.
I’m 12 weeks in and hooked. My first purebred GSD and wow, I am BLOWN away and we aren’t even allowed to take him on a walk yet 😅.
I have a female German Shepherd guide dog. She is absolutely wonderful. It's the only breed I want for a guide.
In the last 10 years, GS has been very successful with my training! He has taught me to understand what he wants and that I should act accordingly. He’s also my BFF.
I have jus gotten a shepherd an malanoid pup he's four months he doing ok with his training so far
@@deniselaviar311 If you treat them like your child they will act like one !!...
@@amosmickens6042 hi thanks for the tip
German shepherds are the best dogs! My favorite dog was a male shepherd who was very bright, loving and protective. He tested me a lot when he was a puppy up until about a year old.
How can i train my German shepherd
Our sweet boy will be 11 years old tomorrow. He is the BEST!
I have a Sable female GSD. She is hands down the smartest animal that I’ve ever encountered. She’s also a total badass. She is my best friend hands down and looks after my children 24/7/365. If you raise your voice to any of my children or I, she flips the switch and quickly lets that person know that she simply won’t tolerate it. Couldn’t ask for a better dog. 💯
Am a gremen shepherd owner am so glad I got him after my parents passed away I had nothing else but be In depression over my loss I always loved dogs and this is my second gremen shepherd he's the best friend so smart playful he just absolutely took all my grief away after getting him I got him from a shelter at 1 yrs old I had him for 4 years now yeah I wish they could live a longer life instead of 10 to 13 yrs he will always be a part of my life and good great memories together am getting old and I don't think I could get another animal like him he feels my pain my emotions my hurt the best thing is he's got ears and lets me talk and he cuddles too me like a hug when I need one better than people sometimes I say I feel god really has a place for animals in heaven and I hope we all meet there along with our furry friends our animals
I have a GS Bitch 9 months old. Long-haired & huge. We adore her. We had another GS Bitch who sadly died 20 years ago & we just couldn't face having another one. But we did & I am so glad we did. So much love & enjoyment we get every single day from her. GSD is so loyal & protective & is worth your time. Bless every one of them.
Many of the comments on this video scare me. My wife and I have a 1 year old female GSD (Kai) and we love her sooo much! She’s had a few health scares and had to stay in the hospital, my wife and I didn’t know if she would make it through and we just cried when she wasn’t there to sleep in the bed with us. Fortunately our beautiful girl is with us now, however all the comments about losing their GSD and the heartbreak…I’m terrified of that day 😢
I feel the same way. I keep thinking ahead to the day l’ll have to say goodbye to my GSD Vera.
@@user-tq4jf1wk6z ❤️❤️
I'm the proud owner of a five yr old female GS named Marley. Very intelligent, loyal, LOVING and protective best friend. They definitely need and thrive on physical and mental stimulation.(Rock on fellow GS owners)
My long hair Male GS Thor is 11yrs old.He has a beautiful loving nature with adults and adores children. Though he has a protective bark.I have owned 4 GS one at a time rescue dogs but not pups I can honestly say with time and TLC they all proved to be beautiful loving and protective members of my family until the end of their long lives ❤❤❤❤
Also never let them overhear you calling the Vet booking an appointment for them. They will absolutely refuse "to go for a walk" with no other explaination other than that maybe? they understood what the phone call was about?!
My German Shepherd is 4 years old and he is my 5th GSD. I obviously love, love, love this breed!!
My German Shepherd are simply divine, he is doing everything right, I am the one who do wrong sometimes......dogs are perfect pets, we are the ones who must learn.....
I've had 6 GSD's with my latest being my first female. She (Arie) is 10 yo with cancer and the only downside is they don't live long enough to enjoy their personalities
I own a GSD named Krieger. He's my everything! 💞
I picked up a female German Shpered mix. She ended up at the shelter after being hit by a car and spent two months at the hospital. When I went to visit her to see if we were a match she came up smelled me let me pet her and rhe she laid down at my feet. I have never had a dog who is so devoted and is always by my side. She lives to go on walks and it is good for her leg which has 4 screws and a plate attached to it.
Our Aida is a beautiful gentle soul, good with kids and animals and birds, love her to bits, she is a blessing to us.
My shepherd/lab mix loves her routine. Up at 5, outside, eats at 7, relax, outside at 9, relax at 11. Outside at 2, eat at 4, relax. Outside at 5 in at 7 and up to bed with me at 8. If I’m not upstairs by 8 she knows it’s bedtime and goes up and waits for me. Sleeps with me all night then repeat
Lol They definitely give us structure in life!
We have an amazing German Shepherd. You are so on point it is frightening, but wonderful. Thank you for creating this video since so many people adopt dogs without knowing their temperment and needs. I believe that is the reason why so many get dumped at rescues instead of loved. Having a GSD is amazing but also takes time and care.
defo a german shepherd owner, i had 5 when i was a kid, used to do a lot with them, even play fight and wrestle on the grass!!!! now im 41 and want to get 1 or 2 pups ! They are so intelligent, i got locked out the house once as left my key inside and my then german shepherd unlocked the door doe me, its had never learnt to do it before, saved me calling a locksmith!
I have a rescue German Shepard his name is Jax. He is 149 lbs all muscle. He is amazing now but challenging in the beginning. It takes a lot of patience and 40 stitches. Now we best friends.
I had to put my service dog down the last Wednesday this year. He was a true companion, friend and looked after me. He started having seizures and the vet was unable to get them under control. The last night before he was put down he seized all night. I hated to do it but felt that putting him down was the best thing to do. His genetic younger brother was born August 1, 2022 and I pick him up on September 24th. He will be trained as my service dog and just like his older brother will be trained for search and rescue as well. Waiting is hard but not much longer before I have the new pup. He will have the same name as his older brother. I felt that naming the new pup after his older brother was a way to honor a dog that had been so much a part of life for me. So, on to potty training, again.
Please tell me where you're getting your GSD. I just lost my almost 15 yo service dog and her breeder has retired. So looking for another.
We have had 4 GSD's over the years.They have all been wonderful dogs.
Love my tall, dark and handsome, black GS named Ace! 🥰 He brings our family so much love. I don't know what I'd without him❤🐾. Best breed ever!
Daily routine, consistent training & exercise, and accepting the fact that a GSD wants to be with you 24/7, and no harsh speaking, no yelling and consistent praise when they do well are keys to having a good natured GSD.
I had to put my GSD down a month back since cancer got a hold of her, she had just turned 7 in march. I miss her so much and while I agree with your list I believe these are very general things and there is exceptions. My dog was alone 8 hour a day since she was about a year and a half but she knew that once I got home we were gonna hang out together and walk for miles or wrestle on the floor. I'm convinced she was happy throughout her life with me.
Hi Gordoxium … I am sorry to hear about the loss of your girl And I can relate to how you feel because I lost my boy of nearly the same age, two weeks ago. Also to cancer. He was magnificent and the best dog ever there ever was. We loved each other to bits and I am really struggling without him. I’m 78 and cannot start again with a puppy for his/her sake. But I am minded to assist if a mature GSD is in need and I can help. In the meantime I gave a small number of videos. By the way the best one I’ve seen on KZhead is German Shepherd dog in Ukraine rescued. If you watch that you will know exactly what my dog Buddy looked like and how he behaved
@@juliane3683 Absolutely gut wrenching to hear. There really is no substitute to a dog in your life. The limitless loyalty no matter what and the purity of their affection for their humans. I recall that even if I had a foul mood or was angry or frustrated it would just melt away as soon as I got home and my baby jumped to greet me tail wagging. It breaks my heart to not be able to pick her up and cuddle her ( she was the crazy type that enjoyed that ). Life is very bland and quiet without our pets... dying for salt and pepper but there is non.
So sorry to hear ,but what perfect memories we have of the best finest dogs in the world ,love my Ellie bear gsd ,my best friend ever ❤️
@@paulacadwell1895 love her strong :) they deserve it.
So sorry to hear about your loss, we lost our Rosie at the same age some 6 or 7 years ago, Pancreatic cancer, she died in my arms at home. We had her and her mum Zena together, we lost Zena about 18 months later to a massive stroke. They were both black and tan and ex-police dogs. Not working though. Currently we have our 3rd GSD, a pure black, she's our pride and joy, just as Zena and Rosie were and Rex, our rescue Belgian Groenendael was before them. Currently
Chief is my third GSD I recently lost my second GSD and it was the hardest thing I went thru I still cry when I think of Thor He was only 6yrs old he got cancer in his lymph nodes it was Terrible watching him go down hill I recently got Chief from a rescue site He is so protective over me and my daughter and loves people unlike my Thor They are a Great breed and so loyal!!!
We got our first GS 2 weeks ago, and I'm amazed how fast he's learning. Kingston is a handful, but I love it.
I am! I have had 2 previous GSDs that lived to age 12 and am the proud owner of my third - Jonah, a solid black intact 1 1/2 year old male We live in the woods and work the land every day with this guy. GSDs are the best
I'm almost 50, and have now a german sheppard puppy she is a perfect friend for my other dog a belgium sheppard, he lost is father last year and in january his mother they where both belgium sheppards. And also i have epilepsy, in my german sheppard i already see a lot of what my first belgium sheppard dog did. So i'm happy whith her and my other dog is also verry happy now.after the loss he didn't want to eat ,play anymore so the vet told me to get a puppy for him and i did.
I’m a kid and my shepherd loves me and will not even let other dogs chase/play with me 😂. He never has done anything to hurt me and is the bestest boi
I agree with what you said. Our German Shepard loves company, and we’d not let him be alone.
Meine 6 jährige GSD-Lady ist mein absolut bester Freund, dass kann man nur schwer mit Worten beschreiben! Ich würde alles für sie tun, und genauso sie für mich ❤
They are "INCREDIBLE". I miss my GSD that passed away 2 years ago.
Always rescue my shepherds. One week ago rescued from kill shelter. He is age 3 I'm age 77. He is a "love bug" within 24 hours. Perfect in every way but beginning the leash training now. Otherwise perfect house dog. I'm sure he will learn fast.
I love German Shepherds and had one from 1991 through 2001 when he died. Since then, I've owned a Standard Schnauzer, and a Standard Poodle, both fine dogs but they aren't the same.
We have 6 GSD's! They are THE BEST dogs EVER!!!
No definitely not they are hard to potty train and shit everywhere
The German Shepard is a great companion for me we Love each other
Spot on, I love my bishop, he makes me smile…..everyday…….he actually helps keep me active…….as odd as that sounds, he loves his daily routine……..
I have a GSDxLab so I have an intensely friendly dog. He tends to leave other dogs alone at the park except for a few self-selected friends. But consistency in training is what changed my dog from a bit of a hassle to an absolute delight. I could not have asked for a better dog.
Just love them! Wonderful companions. Loyal and true friends. 🐕🦺❤️
I have 7 month GSD because I love GSD
Roxy is a little Diva and she is loved by her family 💜
Yes i own a pair They are delightful companions
I have a year old Czech ..my first one ...what an amazing dog. She does not do well alone for more than a few hours, plays from morning to late at night, but is without a doubt the most loving animal I have ever had. Smart ? oh ya very smart, and absolutely beautiful. One thing for sure is she can be very manipulative.....to get me to do what she wants........:)
I have had G S for 50 years loved them all .
I have had my gsd for 7 years now. Sometimes,I don't know if he is training me or vice versa. He is such a smart animal. Just love him so much.
Best dog I ever raised
I absolutely adore these dogs ..Best in the world..
Love my German Sheperd. We are growing old together ❤️. If she goes first, I would love another one but not sure I'd have the energy to work a young dog. She's the best & my best friend. She's 12.
Great companion, great with kids ,very protective and has a sense ot humor
I have had my girl for now four years and everything this video says is TRUE! specially about activity, if she does not get enough, I can tell she is not happy and bored. She is very intelligent and high maintenance for activity. Do NOT get one if you are lay back person.
I got my GSD almost a year ago. She transformed from a little shy pup to a loving, protective girl. She sticks with daddy everywhere. Goes on rides in the Jeep, loves walks and plays with her kids and surrogate GSD brother and sister, and won't go without her big brother dobie being right by her side. She's a handful and a heartfull. Im so greatful i got the the opportunity to bring her to her forever home.
Best breed I ever raised
I have two Shepards, both 8 months, male and female, yes brother and sister. My mother comes over in the middle of the day to take them out and spend time with them since I work 10 hour days.. both in intermediate obedience class, both do great. When I get home.. routine is a 2 mile walk, than play time. They love rides in the truck and when camping, loves riding in the golf car. I always had Shepards growing up and on my own. Last shepard Sadie, she was 13 when she passed.. I can say, each shepard has their own personality..
To wszystko prawda. Jestem właścicielem super przyjaciela o imieniu Melis. Adoptowałem go jako 3 letniego psa ze schroniska. Był po przejściach. Jesteśmy razem już 4 lata. Duży, energiczny i opiekuńczy. Jego wdzięczność widać na każdym kroku. Pozdrawiamy
Yes I have a GSD puppy. 6 months old now. Love her so much. Work her every day. Loves riding in my truck. Take her with me wherever I can. 🥰❤️🙌
Hubby and I were reduced to spelling some words because our GSD listens carefully and can pick out the words she associates with what she wants like food or walks. But she learned to spell so now to ask him if he has fed her, I have to say " you know what we do when we put something on our mouths for meals? Have you done that to the dog?" We have had 5 GSDs, two with CD obedience titles, one trained to voice and hand signals,, but this is the smartest.
Mine listens to conversations too, and he knows the meanings of so many words...and I never taught him any of that. I guess he just learned on his own by listening and observing. So be careful what you say in front of them...and be aware that they are quite aware of everything that goes on around them, including conversations!
Laughing.....tried spelling too.
My rescue GSD is an incredibly loving, intelligent, and loyal part of my life. We both thrive on her schedule, as I'm retired, and she fills my life with companionship and joy!
U r right in everything u said about shepherds. Never be w/o one, couldn’t get a more loyal dog. I’m 72 and always had one since a teenager. Thks for putting ur info out there to others
Protective, loyal; a true friend indeed. I'd love to have a new GSD but i am still mourning the one i lost in April 2014 in terribles circumstances. My next neighbour poused it! I had had it for good eleven years which I won't forget overnight. Well, i sorely miss it. 😢😢😢😢😢. May it RIP.
Nice My GSD is 2 years ❤ He loved my mom & my mom loved my GSD❤
I have had 3 GSD. I have a male, Rudy, who is 4 1/2 y/o. My other 2 were also males. The first one had cancer and the 2nd had a degenerative spinal disorder. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done is having to have them euthanized. RIP Sebastian and Jett. I still miss them both. My current one, Rudy, is gorgeous and a love bug. I would never have any other breed. I love the breed!
Me eithet
Either
Cancer and diseases are not normal. That must have been terrible. Don't inject your current dog and it will probably live much longer. Good luck
Lists like this always have to throw in some terrible anxiety inducing advice like “don’t leave the dog for more than 4 hours or it’s not the dog for you” knowing most people work 8-12 hours a day.
So true. I am on my 4th GSD and he's my best friend.
Good Video and on point. My GS thrives on routine and I am seldom without her companionship. So has been great with our young grandson but we never leave her alone with him. She is a powerful dog, sturdy and a solid addition to our family. She was rescued from a local shelter.
My GS is now my 3rd 1 I've owned. They're an absolute delite. Super smart, protective & your best mate.
This is a excellent video for people who consider a German sheperd. It's a great dog, but not for everyone. I had an awesome German Sherperd, who sadly passed away after almost twelve best years of my life. But they do understand language pretty soon .. I couldn't even spell f..o..o...d, and he knew it was dinnertime. The Golden retriever never got that :)
❤❤❤ The best breed ever ❤️❤️❤️
Agree on all 5 points. Great video for anyone considering one.
Best dog ever! Always by my side.
