They are fiercely loyal to their owners and very protective. This is probably due to their high intelligence, as they don’t just follow blindly. These pups are intelligent and noble, yet they can be somewhat stubborn at times.

What Is The German Shepherd’s Temperament? They can adapt well to different lifestyles depending on their environment and demands. They are aware of their strength and surroundings more so than many other dog breeds. Not only do they take to common commands such as sit, lay down or fetch quickly, but they can also be trained for more advanced uses such as the police and military uses. German Shepherds as mentioned are very smart and easy to train. Most common colors for German Shepherds are black, black & tan, sable, red & black, black & silver, or gray. They range from 22-26 inches tall, and can run up to 30 mph. They are typically medium to large size dogs often weighing in between 50-100 pounds, but can grow to be bigger and heavier as well. In 1899 Max Von Stephanitz created the German Shepherd breed using various traditional German herding dogs. They grew into becoming one of the most popular dogs for military and police forces due to their high intelligence, ability to be trained, and incredible sense of smell. They were bred to be working dogs and most commonly used for herding sheep. You might guess from its name that German Shepherds originally came from Germany. German Shepherd puppies are known for their intelligence and loyalty, making them easy to train, especially when they are trained from an early age.
