German shepherds are great dogs to have around.
Yes they are so smart, and of course they originated in Germany.
I read a book once about a young man in LA who trains German shepherds to be guard dogs, but he only gives them orders in German. I wonder if the dogs are sensitive to German more than other languages!
Hmmm. That's really interesting, I've never heard of that. In Britain and Ireland they used to be called an "Alsatian".
