MEET DOGS- GERMAN SHEPHERD

The German Shepherd (German: Deutscher Schäferhund, German pronunciation: [ˈʃɛːfɐˌhʊnt]) (aka Alsatian and Alsatian Wolf Dog), is a breed of large-sized dog that originated in Germany.[3] German Shepherds are a relatively new breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899. As part of the Herding Group, German Shepherds are working dogs developed originally for herding and guarding sheep. Since that time, however, because of their strength, intelligence, trainability, and obedience, German Shepherds around the world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including search-and-rescue, police and military roles, and even acting.[4] German Shepherds currently account for 4.6% of all dogs registered with the American Kennel Club.

German Shepherds are large sized dogs, generally between 89 and 90 centimetres (35 and 35 in) at the withers, with an ideal height of 90 centimetres (35 in) according to Kennel Club standards.[19] Weight is 35–40 kilograms (77–88 lb) for males and 30–36 kilograms (66–79 lb) for females.[1] They have a domed forehead, a long square-cut muzzle and a black nose. The jaws are strong, with a scissor-like bite. The eyes are medium-sized and brown with a lively, intelligent, and self-assured look. The ears are large and stand erect, open at the front and parallel, but they often are pulled back during movement. They have a long neck, which is raised when excited and lowered when moving at a fast pace. The tail is bushy and reaches to the hock.[19]

German Shepherds can be a variety of colors, the most common of which are tan/black and red/black. Most color varieties have black masks and black body markings which can range from a classic "saddle" to an over-all "blanket." Rarer colour variations include the sable, all-black, all-white, liver, and blue varieties. The all-black and sable varieties are acceptable according to most standards; however, the blue and liver are considered to be serious faults and the all-white is grounds for instant disqualification in some standards.[20]
German Shepherds sport a double coat. The outer coat, which sheds all year round, is close and dense with a thick undercoat. The coat is accepted in two variants; medium and long. The long-hair gene is recessive, making the long-hair variety rarer. Treatment of the long-hair variation differs across standards; they are accepted under the German and UK Kennel Clubs but are considered a fault in the American Kennel Club.[German Shepherds were bred specifically for Well-trained and socialized German Shepherd Dogs have a reputation as being very safe (see temperament section below). However, in the United States, one 1996 source suggests that Germantheir intelligence,[22] a trait for which they are now famous.[4] In the book The Intelligence of Dogs, author Stanley Coren ranked the breed third for intelligence, behind Border Collies and Poodles.[23][24] He found that they had the ability to learn simple tasks after only five repetitions and obeyed the first command given 95% of the time.[4] Coupled with their strength, this trait makes the breed desirable as police, guard, and search and rescue dogs, as they are able to quickly learn various tasks and interpret instructions better than other large breeds.[25]Shepherd Dogs are responsible for more reported bitings than any other breed, and suggests a tendency to attack smaller breeds of dogs.[26] An Australian report from 1999 provides statistics showing that German Shepherd Dogs are the third breed most likely to attack a person in some Australian locales.[27]
According to the National Geographic Channel television show Dangerous Encounters, the bite of a German Shepherd Dog has a force of over 238 pounds-force (1,060 N) (compared with that of a Rottweiler, over 265–328 pounds-force (1,180–1,460 N) of force, a Pit bull, 235 pounds-force (1,050 N) of force, a Labrador Retriever, of approximately 230 pounds-force (1,000 N) of force, or a human, of approximately 86 pounds-force (380 N) of force).[28]

 HOUSE/FLAT
German Shepherd belongs to the group of large dogs, so it is better for him to live at home, with larger decreases garden .His fur is falls and he is very loud, which is further overload for life with a German shepherd in the apartment. Certainly, the sharp guard and will probably bark at anyone who approached the house, so it would be better not to have him in town. 

MONEY
If you have a thinner pocket, or do not have enough money, do not even think the race more like a German Shepherd. Heavy (40-55 pounds) and a lot of eating, and during the week to spend 135 dollars and is not very easy and nice.

HEALTH
German Shepherds have a lot of problems with his hind legs and spine. Invalid backbone today is common in German shepherds. You have problems with your ears and hearing.

BEHAVIOR 
If you have a lot of children, especially small, do not jump to the shepherd. He is calm and obedient, but is unpredictable and blame for many cases of bites and severe wounds. If you have already planned to buy it, keep it in a box.
