German Shepherds - what we love about them Photos

How about all the GSD owners telling us why they own shepherds and posting a pic or pics

I have owned shepherds for the past eight years, which was basically as soon as my circumstances were right for me to own my own dog. Since I was a child I had always loved and longed for a German Shepherd (or Alsatian as they were better known as back then!). I read lots of Joyce Stranger books when I was younger and many of her books were about or included a GSD. I wanted to become a police dog handler from a young age too so that also fuelled my love of this breed.

As far as temperament goes, I love their loyalty, devotion, intelligence, trainability and versatility. I love their noble looks and especially the longcoats. I will always own at least one German Shepherd.

So, c'mon GSD owners - tell me all about yours!

Here are a couple of pics of my girl Flame.





And my favourite pic of Flame so far ...

She is beautiful moobli!

I have never had a German shepherd but Brandie is half one. She likes the sound of her own voice like they do My mum has owned a couple and there is one next door as well. I think they are amazing dogs. They look gorgeous and have a great personality. They're loyal, loving, intelligent, and lots of fun.

I was going to get a german shepherd and the rescue centre was full of them here. But unfortunately they were all very large and strong on the lead so were not right for me as a first dog. I love Brandie though so I do not regret that.

I will look for some photos of my mum's german shepherd soon.

I'd love to see some more photos of Brandie too please

That's not a problem, I have LOADS

Well here are the photos I could find of my mum's dog scooby









And one of her dog that I never knew, but I think his name is Champ.



Hope you like them

And here are some more of Brandie for you moobli i'll take any excuse to post pictures of her!

Awww Flame is soooo beautiful Moobli
Scooby is cute and so is Champ
And of course Brandie is gorgeous

I met my first German shepherd when I was around 3 yrs old and she was my nan's. Her name was Cindy and she was soooo lovely. I was hooked from then really. When I got married and we moved into our house we felt the time was right to have a dog so we got Sheba who was a GSD x Retriever. I think she had a lot of GSD traits and she was a loving loyal dog. And now I have my very first GSD and will be getting my 2nd in late Feb
I love GSD's because they are loyal, intelligent, great family dogs and i just love the way the talk back to you. I think that is one of their most endearing quality's

Thanks tj

My mum used to be scared of dogs, but had a couple of german shepherds and absolutely loves them now. I think that shows how great they are. Big softies with their mummies
