re: German Shepherds as Pets (with cats, small dogs, and kids)

We have two GSD and a smaller dog. Our male GSD (kept his noonoos) is by far the best of the three with our young daughter. These dogs are smart, loyal, and amazing family pets. Do they bark at the doorbell and passerbys? Yes. Do they actually intend to do harm? No. Except for this one guy at the dog park one time, but that tells me something was off about that dude.

Get a GSD at a young age and they will acclimate to their surroundings. You see them on the list of bites because there are SO many of them so it is basically the law of averages at play.
