[quote:Anonymous Coward 26365184:MV8yMDU3MTY3XzM0NTkyNjU3XzNGNkVFOTcy] [quote:Laura Bow:MV8yMDU3MTY3XzM0NTkyMDUzXzNDOEU1MUQ5] They can have hip dysplasia, among other health issues, which is why it's important to go to a good breeder who knows what they are doing. German Shepherds are good dogs though when properly bred and raised. See my avatar :) [/quote] Please only get this dog if you can give it lots of exercise and stimulation. They are great family dogs but have to be well integrated as one of the family. You will need a firm hand also with this breed they are highly intelligent and need a lot of training to be healthy and happy. They are working dogs and not ones to sit around the house doing nothing. They are not good with small animals and will chase and kill etc. Other then that best dog I have ever had. [/quote]
Original Message
I have a friend who breeds them and she seems happy with them as a pet. My only question is about their hips, I always hear stories about them getting some sort of hip problems (I forget what they call it)I also plan on taking it to training, so it will be well behaved in public.
