About German Shepherds

The Royal Kennel Club describes the German Shepherd Dog as a "versatile worker and service dog noted for bravery and intelligence". It says the breed was first developed as a herding dog, then used as a working dog by the police and the armed forces, and has also worked as a guide dog, a tracking dog and in obedience.
