The German Shepherd is one of the world’s most recognized breeds, as well as one of the most popular ones in America.  In Great Britain and some areas of Europe the breed is known as the Alsatian.  Originating in Germany in 1899, they were bred as working dogs to herd sheep and protect livestock.  German Shepherds are extremely smart and loyal hence they are used as military and police dogs, as well as guide dogs for the blind.  They make great therapy dogs and are often used in hospital settings.  Due to their high energy level they do need lots of exercise and activity, mental and physical; they were bred to work.  If not, they can develop bad habits with excessive chewing and barking to get rid of their frustration.  They can be detached, withdrawn and unapproachable at times, and perhaps distrustful of strangers, therefore they make great watchdogs.  One way to alleviate some of this unwanted behavior is early training and socialization.  This devoted and protective breed needs their owner home with them otherwise they can develop separation anxiety.  German Shepherds are easy to train and can be helped by crate training, especially as a puppy.  This helps them to be at rest and content especially when apart from their owner.  The German Shepherd should not be chained outside, and does best living indoors but having access to a fenced yard.  Due to their having a medium length double coat, they shed a lot.
