I have owned german shepherds for nearly 30 years, 1 admire the intelligence loyalty and companionship they offer. They are a proud breeed who are good with children, but do not immediatly trust strangers. In general they make an excellent family guard. they should be treated as part of the family. under no curcumstances should they be left alone outside all day just to guard. THIS BREED NEEDS TO BE BUSY. All shepherds in my opinion should participate in some sort of training,they are a fairly large breed and benefit when their natural gifts are channelled in the right direction. If your lifestyle does not afford you time to spend with your shepherd please dont even think about getting one! I have participated in obedience, agility,flyball and tracking with my dogs, which has taught me how to get the best from them. I dont expect my dogs to read my mind ,although at times they seem to! They have taught me more than I ever taught them! All MY dogs are registered with the Kennel Club. i breed for Health,Beauty Brains and most importantly Good Temperament.One or two of my pups have joined the forces, or are owned as pets by members of the police/military,WHICH SEEMS QUITE FITTING AS MY GRANDAD TRAINED GERMAN SHEPHERD DOGS FOR THE RAF DURING THE WAR. most of my pups have gone to pet homes, some of which have done very well in obedience,and have easily passed their Good Citizen Test, then have gone on to compete in obedience competitions , we are very proud of debbie aitken from northern ireland and sasha on our news page, with their success at crufts 2007, and wish them success in 2008. Our dogs are not entered in the breed show ring as they have longcoats, which are not prefered in the breed standard, MY Personal choice is the longcoat variety,and the more unusual colours.
