German Shepherds have black and tan markings that make them distinctive from other dog breeds. Their Alsatian features also distinguish They are often seen in the police force, the army, and other uniform groups around the world. They are known to be faithful, loyal, and intelligent.
Side note: German Shepherds shed a butt-tone, so you should take care of your GSD by grooming him/her regularly, or you'll start seeing fluff-balls rolling around the house like tumbleweeds.
However, they can have a variety of problems if not taken care of or bred properly. Most GSDs, even if bred properly, will still potentially have arthritis and bloat at a young age, so make sure that your German Shepherd's pedigree chart is well checked out before buying!
NOTE TO ALL DOG OWNERS, REGARDLESS: Please make sure that you take proper care of your dog, no matter what the breed is, from day one. If you cannot handle your dog/afford to keep it, please rehome it to a better family and not send it to the shelter, as many homeless dogs are euthanised in the shelters if they are not adopted for a certain number of days.
These wonderful forgiving creatures deserve our love and care, not our hatred and ignorance.
