I love dogs - German Shepherds are my favorite!  I own 4!  Are you a dog person?
Yes, I also love dogs. The German Shepherd is a new breed of dog, right? I think they have only been around since 1899.
Really?  I didn't know that!  I wonder who discovered them?  They are so affectionate!
I'm not sure who discovered them, but I know they were bred specifically to herd sheep.
