They are loyal and protective

If given proper training and a bit of TLC, your German Shepherd will become extremely loyal to you and in turn become protective. This means that they will love you unconditionally and if the situations arises, you know they’ve got your back.

    Absolutely all of those things . My first two dogs were German Shephards. They are very smart & loving . Then I had a chow Newfoundland mix, when Bear passed, I got a Gentle Giant my Newfie Maggie & when she passed another Newfie AllieJo! She passed 2-15-15. I really miss all my furbabies. They all were wonderful. If I wasn’t afraid of passing before them, I’d get another. Bt no one would spoil then like I do. I’m 75 now & dnt know when the Lord may call me home.
