Today, based on 2006 American Kennel Club statistics, German Shepherd Dogs are the third most popular breed in the United States with 43,575 registrations. [1] They can also be found working as guide dogs for the blind, police work , guarding , search and rescue , therapy and in the military . Despite their suitability for such work, German Shepherds can also make loyal and loving pets inside the home. They enjoy being around people and other animals, although socialization is critical for young puppies in order to prevent aggressive and dangerous behavior as an adult. German Shepherds are well-suited to obedience , with advanced and prestigious titles available to test both the handler and dog in various schutzhund trials.
