The German Shepherd Dog loves to be around people and other animals. It is currently ranked as the 3rd most popular dog in the US, according to the AKC. The German Shepherd is intelligent and well-suited to obedience training. They are popular working dogs, employed as military dogs, police dogs, and guide dogs for the blind. German Shepherd Dogs can also be loving and loyal pets for families and kids, but proper socialization as a puppy is very important to prevent aggressive behavior as an adult.
