German Shepherds | Dog Diehard

“The German shepherd dog has an outline of smooth curves on a body that is longer than it is tall. It is strong, agile and substantial. Its gait is exceptionally outreaching and elastic, covering the ground in great strides. It has a double coat, with the outer coat consisting of dense, straight or slightly wavy, harsh, close lying hair of medium length. Among the most intelligent of breeds, the German shepherd dog is so intent on its mission — whatever that may be — that it is virtually unsurpassed in working versatility. It is utterly devoted and faithful. Aloof and suspicious toward strangers, it is protective of its home and family. It can be domineering. It can be aggressive toward other dogs, but it is usually good with other pets.”

Ever since I could remember my grandparents, on my father’s side, had German shepherds. At first they always seemed mean and over protective, but once you spent some time with them they would warm up to you until the next visit where you would have to get reacquainted all over again. Over the years they have gone through many German shepherds, but one in particular sticks out. His name was Bumpers. Kind of a silly name, but it fit. He was a non-stop ball chaser that ran into everything. He was probably the most loveable German shepherd ever to grace this plant and I miss him dearly.
