German shepherd dogs are loving, protective, and loyal companions to your family. They will bond with you like no other dog. Mine follow me around like a shadow, always afraid they're gonna miss out on something. They are very good natural watchdogs and companions. We have a handful with our 10 puppies born on 1-15-11 {8 girls and 2 boys }. I hope to find very loving people for them to become best freinds with. The sire Gustav is black with some red. The dam Exe is black & tan. Both the sire and dams parents are titled, and come from top East/West German import working lines.
