The German Shepherd - My Favorite Dog

Hi guys, today I'm going to introduce one of my favorite dog - German Shepherd.
German Shepherds are large sized dogs. The breed standard height at the withers is 60–65 cm (24–26 in) for males and 55–60 cm (22–24 in) for females. German Shepherds have a variety of colors, the most common of which are tan/black and red/black.

I like German Shepherd because of its intelligence. In the book The Intelligence of Dogs, author Stanley Coren ranked the breed third for intelligence, behind Border Collies and Poodles. He found that they had the ability to learn simple tasks after only five repetitions and obeyed the first command given 95% of the time.
(Check out this video and you will find out how amazing a German Shepherd are.)

On the other hand, the German Shepherd are also very popular as working dog. They are especially well known for their police work, being used for tracking criminals, patrolling troubled areas and detection and holding of suspects. Additionally thousands of German Shepherds have been used by the military.
