German Shepherds are a common breed. They're known for their intelligence, courage, loyalty and sensitivity. As with Belgian Shepherds (AKA Malinois), they make great family pets and are the go-to K9 when it comes to law enforcement, military deployments, rescue services, etc.

German Shepherds are ideal companions for all members of the family, from tiny tots to grandparents. They can also be really cheeky, which only adds to their charm!
