German Shepherds

Location: Maine
I was born and raised around German Shepherds or GSDs for short. German Shepherds are a largely misunderstood breed, which is why so many sadly end up in local shelters. GSDs need constant companionship and are not a fit for people who work endless hours away from home. They are also fiercely loyal and will defend those they love to the death if necessary. This makes them a prime target for insurance industry 'naughty' lists - which in turns makes getting homeowner's insurance a challenge. Expect to pay a premium for loving this breed!
GSDs learn new things quickly - often within minutes or hours. They don't forget either. It's important to offer GSDs plenty of safe space to play and exercise. Walks and durable toys are a must.
If you're considering bringing a GSD into your family, please adopt from a local shelter or German Shepherd Rescue.
