Which of these German Shepherd quotes is your favorite?

They aren’t just a smart and loyal breed; they are also mouthy and nosey! German Shepherds use their incredible sense of smell to sniff everything. When it comes to dog breeds, they rank among the top for scent ability. This is one reason they make great police dogs. They also use their noses to herd their owners around.

German Shepherds also like to ‘mouth’ their owners. They will grab you by the arm and try to pull you around. You probably want to curb this tendency when they are puppies, though, because your guests might not like a hundred-pound dog that wants to put their arms or legs in its mouth. This also makes them a breed that likes to chew on everything, so make sure they have plenty of bones and toys.

Making sure they do enough ‘work’ will also help reduce their need to chew; so make sure they get a daily walk!
