German Shepherd Dog

As loyal and protective as they come, the German Shepherd Dog makes for a wonderful companion, a dedicated family pet, and a diligent worker. One of the most popular dog breeds around the world, the German Shepherd gained its stardom during World War I when Corporal Lee Duncan brought a puppy back to Los Angeles France, trained him, and turned him into Rin Tin Tin - one of the most famous dogs in show business. In addition to celebrity, the German Shepherd holds many other jobs including guide dog, detectors of narcotics and bombs, search and rescue dogs, and therapy dogs due to their immense intelligence and strong work ethic.
