The German Shepherd is one of the most well-known and recognized dog breeds in the world. This breed symbolizes some of the best traits a dog can have: loyalty, courage and versatility. Although a very well-known breed the German Shepherd is actually a fairly new breed only dating back to 1899. German Shepherds were originally bred to be extraordinary herding dogs but they surpassed their initial goal when they started excelling in other branches of work.
Common day German Shepherds are well-known for being excellent police dogs, service dogs and military dogs. Due to their intelligent nature, German Shepherds should be in a household that can keep them active and stimulated. They can become easily bored without a purpose. The German Shepherds that come to Fetchers really enjoy being engaged by lots of different activities including playing fetch, playing in the pool and socializing with the other dogs. They can be pretty full of energy but at the end of the day you can tell this working dog is ready for a long nap! #sofetch
