10 things you never knew about the German Shepherd Dog

 German Shepherd Dog


One of the first things you will notice about a German Shepherd is that its ears pretty much sum it up. They stand, pointed, like they are soldiers, saluting. Known for many things, from being a watch dog to being a loving and loyal family dog, there are aspects of every kind of dog that even the most die-hard dog enthusiast will not know. With that idea in mind, we decided it was time to shed some more light on this amazing breed. Here are ten things you didn’t know about the 

1 It is a Guide dog

2  They're always happy to see you, whether it's been all day or 10 minutes






3  Colors: While many people think the GSD only comes in the familiar black & tan, black, or white, the AKC actually recognizes eleven colors—the ones mention about as well as: bi-color, black, black & cream, black & red, black & silver, blue, gray, liver and sable.

 4  Very popular: The GSD does not just enjoy popularity in America. There are hundreds of thousands of fanciers in 78 countries worldwide. There are 250,000 purebred GSDs in Germany alone, with about 15,000 puppies born a year. There is even a World Union of German Shepherd Dog Clubs.

 5 Very good company/ love to hangout with you:  They are always ready to accompany you wherever you go

6 They have unparalleled, Unmatched Loyalty and Protection: Cats are well-known for sometimes following their masters into the bathroom, and lots of dogs do it, too. The thing is, your German Shepherd will follow you in there to not make sure you are alright and safe. A fiercely loyal dog, which is why they make such great service dogs, just like Golden Retrievers. Some call them “Velcro” dogs, because they never want to leave your side.
7 No private moments: German Shepherds will make sure you never have a private moment to yourself (and you'll find that you don't mind at all), so no creepy or shady things

8 Good war dog and security

9 They have a long life span:  if you bought a German Shepherd as a puppy, typically, you will enjoy 10 to 13 years with your pup.



 10 They are high nosy, very good at sniffing things: GSDs can sniff out weapons, diabolic people and even alert you of an impeding danger in the environment.
So don't be scared they are your friends.......yes loyal to a fault and will always protect you even if it means dying
please share with friends

It has, though, been around for some time. Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet who lived from 1796 to 1854 created the idea of the body mass index. This Belgian mathematician was famous both in his time and ours for implementing systems of numbers, which could actually help our lives. It was originally called the Quetelet Index. Doctors and researchers now suggest that this is the best way to calculate obesity and overweight numbers in the most accurate fashion. It is a simple index of weight-for-height and is widely used by medical, health and fitness professionals to classify underweight, overweight and obesity in adults.    BMI is a useful tool and for most individuals is an a...
