German shepherds are great dogs to have around.
Yes they are so smart, and of course they originated in Germany.
I read a book once about a young man in LA who trains German shepherds to be guard dogs, but he only gives them orders in German. I wonder if the dogs are sensitive to German more than other languages!
Hmmm. That's really interesting, I've never heard of that. In Britain and Ireland they used to be called an "Alsatian".
Oh wow, I didn't know Alsatians and German shepherds are the same kinds of dog. I think they'd be perfect companions for hiking in Ireland.
Yeah and since they have great strength, intelligence, and obedience, they're the most common breed for disability assistance, search and rescue and police and military roles.
Yes, they're great dogs - intelligent, attentive, focused, strong physical assistants, and all around great companions!
Golden Retrievers are great dogs too. They have an instinctive love of water and are also easy to train and have great obedience skills.
