Re: Hi new here.. advise needed

You will never have a more loyal, and steadfast friend as a German Shepherd, which is why they have great devotion to their human family. Since they are naturally suspicious of strangers, it does make them the perfect guard dog. It is pure ignorance that makes people advise against them as they are often ignorant about the breed.

GSD's are used widely around the world as police dogs, guide dogs, and utility dogs, which gives some indication of their versatility and intelligence. In the wrong hands however, they can be unruly, which is why I always recommend socialisation and training from a very early age.

Please ensure that you follow these simple rules and join a German Shepherd training group.

I do envy you your puppy, as losing Zak was like losing a part of me. She looks beautiful and I am sure she will make a wonderful family member.
