Every family should have a dog. A dog teaches responsibility, and it’s a companion for the entire family to enjoy.
However, it can be hard to decide what type of dog is best for you and your family, and the decision becomes even more important when you have children.
You need a dog that won’t be aggressive with the children. But, at the same time, you may also want a dog that can protect them.
Although every situation is different, German Shepherds can be great family dogs with the proper upbringing and training.
They’re one of the most popular dog breeds in the country, are in tons of family homes, and are also used as police dogs.
It’s easy to see why with their big smiles and attractive coloring, but are they really the best option for a family? In our opinion, the answer is 100% yes.
Let’s go over the top 8 reasons why GSDs are great family dogs:
1. Intelligent: German Shepherds are known for being one of the more intelligent breeds of dogs, making them very easy to train, and since they’re so smart they’re able to learn tricks easier than many other breeds, so you can have lots of fun teaching them to fetch, roll over, and sit.
2. Loyalty: German Shepherds generally become very attached to their owners, and it won’t take long before your dog loves you and your family just as much as you love them.
This makes them quite affectionate, so it’s great for people who like something big and fuzzy to cuddle with at night.
3. Friendly: Just because the dog becomes attached to you does not mean that they will be mean to others. In fact, they can be quite a friendly breed.
This is especially true if they see you interacting positively with the people you bring around.
You won’t have to worry about the dog attacking any of your friends as long as you introduce them properly and they receive the right kind of socialization.
4. Protective: While they’re generally friendly dogs, they will be quick to protect the family in the case of danger.
This is particularly true when it comes to the little ones, as the dog will keep a watchful eye over you and the other people in your family. They will constantly be on guard, just in case you need them.
5. Energetic: German Shepherds have a lot of energy, and so do children. This is the dog that will be able to keep up with the kids at the park or in the yard.
In fact, the children will probably get tired before the dog does! While this is positive, it can also be seen as negative since this is not a low-maintenance dog that you can leave at home all day.
6. Attractive: Everyone wants a dog that will look good in the Christmas card photo, and German Shepherds are perfect for that! Since they’re so active, they usually don’t get too overweight. Plus, they have a stunning coloring.
This is the type of dog that people will stop to marvel at when walking down the street. They’re adorable as pups and only get better looking with time.
7. Great for breeding: If you’re interested in breeding dogs, German Shepherds are a great option. People want German Shepherds, and they will pay a significant amount of money to get one.
A full-breed German Shepherd can help you create a side business if you also purchase a mate. Of course, that only applies if you can stand to get rid of the adorable puppies.
8. Courageous: Some dogs want to protect their owners, but, in the end, they’re simply too cowardly. German Shepherds are quite the opposite.
If they see that you or the children are in danger, they will take action right away. They’re brave and courageous, and are the type of dog that would sacrifice themselves for their owner.
As long as you give your pup proper obedience training, proper socialization, and the attention it needs, this is a dog that is sure to be a dear part of your family for its entire life.
