German Shepherd One of the most compliant breeds, the German Shepherd
probably originated by crossing several shepherd breeds in Germany. The breed is so
smart and learns so quickly that it has been used as a sheepdog, guard-dog, in constable work, as a guide for the blind, in search and rescue duty and martial work. As long as they are trained in obedience from an early age by a loving but firm hand, they can be great family dogs, and excellent with children. As with many of the smartest breeds, because of their intelligence, a German Shepherd needs a purpose or job in life to be truly happy.
