The German shepherd dog is very intelligent, easy to train, powerful and elegant. 

The German shepherd dog is medium to large size with erect pointed ears, a long body, and a weather resistant coat. A thick stiff outer coat covered by a softer inner one makes the German shepherd readily able to withstand extreme climates. German Shepherd's range in color from black and tan to black and red, while the white German Shepherd is being seen more often these days. White German Shepherds are known as loyal family dogs and fearless guardians of the home that excel in obedience work. 

Originally trained as a herder, the breed is still used in this capacity in some areas. The German Shepherd also excels in many other dog activities including tracking, obedience, agility, fly ball, and ring sport. Through it all, the German Shepherd is also a wonderful family member and a dog of distinction. 

To this day, the German Shepherd Dog is considered one of the most, if not the most, intelligent and versatile breeds in existence. The German Shepherd is exceptionally trainable and works well as a police, guide, search, rescue dog. Though relatively calm and quiet indoors, the German Shepherd needs lots of outdoor exercises to maintain condition. German Shepherds require some active exercise each day and should not really be confined to a small yard. German shepherds do not require any special care.
