Article Title: Why German Shepherds Get The Reputation For
Viciousness
Author: Jan A Ryan
The amazing trainability and eagerness to please give German
Shepherds both good and bad personalities, as they can be easily
trained to do just about anything – including attacking people.
German Shepherd dogs worship the people they live with. They
need to be active and have a job to do in order to keep them
from being destructive. German Shepherds will worship you and
need your attention. Any German Shepherd dog trained to do bad
things can be retrained with patience.
What qualities would you look for in a friend? You would hope
they would stick by your side through good times and bad. You
pray that they will never betray your secrets. You wish that
they would help you out when you needed help. You can find all
of these qualities in a German Shepherd dog. And, as added
benefit, they won't sue you, either.
You need to do your part in this friendship, as well, in order
for it to work out. You have to be patient, have a sense of
humor and learn all you can about the German Shepherd breed. You
have to be committed to exercising your German Shepherd dog
every day, with a walk and play. They need to be active, or else
they get a bit hyperactive. They also need regular trips to the
vet for inoculations and check ups. Purebred German Shepherds
are more inclined to have genetically caused problems than many
other breeds of dog. You must be willing to pay any and all
medical costs for your friend.
German Shepherd dogs worship the human beings they either live
with or are ordered to protect. They would rather hang out with
their people than with other dogs. The approval and affection of
their people is vital to their sense of well-being. These are
not dogs that like to be alone, chained out in the yard. Any
German Shepherd left to this fate will overcompensate with
hyperactivity in order to get his people's attention. Since they
are such large and powerful dogs, even playful boisterousness
can possibly hurt someone.
German Shepherds excel when given specific jobs to do. This is
why they are often one of the first breeds of choice for police
dogs, search and rescue dogs, assistance dogs and for working in
entertainment. Throughout the centuries, they have also played
the roles of sheepherders and draft animals as well as their
more familiar roles as guard dogs and military dogs.
A German Shepherd dog needs regular exercise, attention and
grooming. Getting them spayed or neutered will also not only
lengthen their life span, but also make them more willing to pay
attention to you. German Shepherds really are not suitable for
apartment life, unless they get a lot of outdoor exercise. They
learn to leash train very well (and can often be voice trained),
whether their owners are walking, jogging, riding a bike or
riding a horse.
Hopefully, armed with this German Shepherd information about
their basic personality, you will know if a German Shepherd dog
is right for your home and lifestyle. There are variations in
each dog's individual personality, as there are with each dog's
physical traits. Some are more timid than others. Some are more
serious than others. Some seem more psychic than others. But
they need a lot of activity and attention in order to really
become a member of your family.
