Our Shepherd has a fan club in the neighborhood. 4 sets of neighbors kids and grandkids, plus a couple adults, and 1 little old lady who has lingering effects from a stroke.

They all have to greet her and give her lots of petting.

The lady with the stroke starts calling (hi big lady) to her when she sees us out for a walk. So we'll stop in so gypsy can get her hug and scratches.

That lady just lights up with a great big smile.
Shepherds are some of the best dogs I've seen. We have a neighbor 2 house down that was hit by a car walking in the morning and hurt very badly. Over the last 15 years he has had 2 Shepherds that he trained as helpers ( lack of a better word ) they wear a harness and help the Gentleman walk and even get out of his chair by giving him a pull . They have kept him mobile and aided in his recovery . I will try to get a picture of him walking .

No idea why wally was on the other side of the creek but I caught him coming back. I wish I could leap like that!

It’s amazing how our dog greets everyone different. Picture of when my daughter came home from Med school.
What a sweet dog.

A shepherd can be the best or the worst dog out there. Training, socializing, and giving them a job are a must. If not, they can be really destructive and in some cases extremely dangerous.

There are three German shepherds in our neighborhood. Two males and our female.

One of the males has been trained and handled similar to ours and have a therapy/ service dog disposition. Both are sweet hearts and loved by the neighbors kids when they are out for walks.

The third has been trained for personal protection. So people keep there distance from him.

Ours, even though she's got the sweet disposition, she is still protective when it counts and is appropriate. I had to point out to our son in law that it probably isn't a good idea to stalk his 15mo son in front of her while they were playing at the house. That's her boy

She wouldn't bite him, but she would have placed herself in front of the boy with the most evil sounding growl directed at the dad

She's only done that a couple times over the years. But both times, it was warranted, and the growl made me clench even though I was the one being protected

Here is a certain puppy who's afraid of water and won't cross the creek. (most puppies do this)

Now way I'm going in, I'll drown for sure!!!! Panting whining, panting whining.
