German shepherds are intelligent dogs, very in tune with their owners' emotional states, and very loyal. My only real qualm with the breed is that sometimes they can be too smart for their own good (like learning how to get into the fridge) and also they sometimes can be more prone to anxiety, especially at the vet's office because they are very sensory animals. They actually stress about things before they happen, almost like people.

I love German Shepherds!! Absolutely adore them. I was thinking that if I ever were to have a dog some day I'd like it to be a German Shep :')

One of my best friends is a shepherd/malamute mix. Such a smart, strong, loyal, friendly, playful, beautiful young woman. :3 I love her with all my heart.

All the dogs I have ever had were in tune with my emotional states. I used to have one dog that would howl as if in mourning when I was very sad or depressed. They also come and lay with me. I have a Shepherd Husky mix and I've been pretty sad lately and the last few days really bad and poor dog seems to be taking it all on...He lays there listless as though he's very depressed, so then I feel bad and have to perk him up and play with him and then he's fine. He wants to lay on me or sit next to me.

He was so funny with his Christmas gifts. He gets so excited like a little kid...we had to make a bigger toy box for him. He hates them in his toy box, he has to take them out and throw them everywhere...then like a kid when there were no more gifts for him, he seemed sad and let down! We'd put them in the toy box again for him to take out and throw around. Got him one toy that has a laser on it. He's just like the cats with that thing, runs and chases it all over. If we have the small pocket one, he knows even before we turn it on. His ears are keen to the sound of it on the little key chain. He will perk up instantly and wait for it. lol.

Careful Clover, Border Collies are very hyper and need lots of room to run. Better research before you invest.

German Shepherds are awesome dogs. Very loyal to their keepers.

Personally I have Maremmas. They protect our property from predators who wish to eat duck. They are working dogs and need a job to do. And they are the most stubborn breed I think I have ever encountered.

If I posted a photo of my German Shep...all you would notice are the
huge ears sticking up!
She is not photogenic, what can I say.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru

Good afternoon Sarian

"All the dogs I have ever had were in tune with my emotional states."

The same here, I found it works both ways.

My first was a German shepherd

She was found walking the streets, vet guess her age was 4 weeks, she was a wonderful fun loving companion for 15 years, her name was muffin.
