                                                                                              Protective, Intelligent, and Agile
                         The German Shepherd are very Intelligent animals that were ranked third when more than 200 AKC judges rated over 100 breeds on their intelligence. They’re easy to train, learning many simple commands in as little as five repetitions. It takes a little bit of time if you do it right. If you train these animals very well then they will become Agile. They can instantly break into top speed, come to a sudden stop and round a sharp corner without stumbling over themselves or their surroundings. Thats why the police use it as a police dog or military dog, well at least some of the reasons why.
                                                                              
                                                                                                   Color, Shedding, and Sizes
                         The most common color that German Shepherds have are beige and black but there ware also solid black and solid white. German Shepherds are very prolific shedders, that means that if you at least brush them for 10 minutes that your whole house would be filled with dog hair that is flying around. The only way to stop that much shedding is to brush them daily. The German Shepherds are also large animals. They might be thin for a few years but after they will become large and powerful. Ranging from 22 or 26 inches they weigh 50 to 90 pounds.

                         The rest of this article will be based on my dog, and how she is. Plus a miracle just happened on December 10, 2014. She had puppies as you can see in the pictures that I took. The dog that I have is three years old and is a girl.
