Yes they are, but have you ever owned a Heeler? I have one of those too and they are extremely loyal as well, but usually to just one individual.

[@moypedro19]

Love German shepherds but I would have to disagree with this breed being a top choice for first time dog owners. Very smart, seen plenty that try being the "alpha" or being strong willed. Have had plenty of people come in with a very misbehaved dog because it doesn't want to listen to them. Of course I say it's the owners fault but the breed does have to do a bit with it. Amazing dogs, especially for those that know how to handle them. Intelligent, loyal and plenty of energy.

[@carbonking53]

What you described is all caused by a bad owner. The owner must be the alpha and establish the rules. Same with parents and children.

[@Nobody321bravo]

If you establish a relationship with the dog, everything else falls into place. However, mine is definitely bullheaded (that’s what the trainer called him).

[@OLHA767]

So true. I have a 12 year old male, had him and trained him since he was 4 months old. And sometimes he still tries to push me around for that alpha position. Very intelligent but stubborn. Still is my top choice of dog breeds. Great dogs!

[@amanawolf9166]

Picked up a senior rescue shepard. She was an absolute gem of a dog with a wonderful temperament. Though she could be a little a-hole at times, I never regretted adopting her -- or any of my other dogs -- for a single second. I have to agree that GS's are not a great choice for first time owners, especially ones with kids. They can be a handful.

Yes, it’s true. You will never regret having a GSD come into your life. I was own by a GSD for 7 of the happiest years of my life. We were never separated, from the time I picked him up at 7 years old until he passed away at 14. He was the most loyal doggo I have ever had the pleasure of their companionship. If, I were not 65 years old, and just serving cancer treatments, I would seek out another GSD.

I've always had German shepherd's in my life since I was 13 years old. My grandad got me my first shepherd for my 13th birthday. Never been without one. As the video says the are a great breed of dog. Always tried to get rescue one's. Even had them at our wedding. Our daughter has grew up with them 2 and my 2 sisters kids and grandkids have all grew up with my dogs. My female misty loves the kids that go to the primary school that we live beside. The teachers and the janitor know the both of them Odin and misty...Odin loves playing with the boys with a football ⚽️. And misty loves just following all the kids. And you. Never get an ugly German shepherd. Beautiful dog. I am biased ofcourse lol.sorry for the rant guys. Love from Glasgow Scotland.xx.

Left out the bit where lots of German shepherds (at least from America) have anxiety and a timid nature, making extreme socialization crucial if you don't want a dog that's going to get scared/defensive/territorial and bite someone or something

[@alivekicking6247]

That's very bad breeding producing that

[@death-xiii]

@@alivekicking6247 yeah, backyard breeding and puppy mills are a serious problem. they create unhealthy, mentally unstable dogs. that's why it's crucial to get a GSD (or any other type of dog) from a reputable breeder that breeds for good health and a sound temperament. a well-bred GSD is not timid or anxious. they may be suspicious but they have a strong character. they are made to do difficult and often stressful work, so they need to be steady, strong, and brave.

My German shepherd is such a little stinker. She likes to play keep away. She'll come up to you with a toy drooping out of her mouth and then yank it away when you when you reach for it. If you slowly reach for it she will match your speed and slowly move her head away, if you reach for it fast she'll move away fast. Sometimes she'll drop it on the ground in front of you and then stare at you while standing over it, almost as if she's goading you into trying to take it So you go to reach for it and she'll snatch it away and prance around with it for a few seconds to rub it in that she got it before dropping it in front of you again. She loves it when you chase her to try to get it back. She's such a goofball. I love her so much
