Sure is

They are ever-playful.







Incredibly confident.







and naturally curious...







As far as I'm concerned, once God had reated GSD and Man, he could have stopped there, happy that's he's made a perfect world.

The GSD has to be one of the most receptive dogs I think I've ever experienced. They are affectionate, though they don't wear their hearts on their sleeves. A GSD owner should never be overly concerned if their dog does not see the need to come to them for affection several times a day.

You can just tell when a GSD is happy in its expression, its posture, and its overall manner. While I'm sure it varies, I wouldn't recommend a GSD to anyone who is looking for a cuddly lap-dog, it's just not their general nature to show their affection in such delicate ways. They show it in their absolute and undying loyalty, their willingness to learn new things, their ability to play with you for as long as you can keep up with it, and more besides.

Grooming is minimal, with a coat that essentially takes care of itself. Though be aware, whilst they only shed their coat once a year, it lasts for 365 days, though far worse around spring/summer when you can fully expect to find trails of fur wherever your dog has been.

With a GSD you have one of the most playful pets and yet, when need arises, one of the most protective that you could ever wish for. It's constantly alert and instinctively protective of both property and family Members. It can't be stressed enough, the need to manage this natural behaviour through the right training. A GSD is not a small dog, and so, when ill-mannered, is more than capable of dragging its owner around, and waking an entire street with its very audible barking.

I'm sure it's the same with any breed, but the GSD, more than any dog I know, just wants to please, wants to "get it right" and wants you to have faith in it, and in return, have faith in you. They're just natural talents and I'd never be without mine.

If it was practical, I'd have three or four of them together.

lovely dog you have there bring back memories ;-)
