German Shepherd

The German Shepherd was originally developed for herding and guarding sheep, but its intelligence and extraordinary focus on any task at hand has made it a popular choice for police and military all over the world.

German Shepherds are strong, smart, loyal, and eager to please. They have been ranked third dog breed when it comes to intelligence - right after Border Collies and Poodles.

This is a breed that excels at guarding. They are protective towards family and home, and most of them are suspicious
against strangers.

The German Shepherd is the most popular breed in a number of American cities, such as Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinatti, Detroit, and Miami. It is the third most popular breed in Seattle, Houston, and Portland, and the second most popular in Boston and Philadelphia.

German Shepherds normally weigh between 75 and 95 pounds, and need a large PlexiDor dog door.
