German Shepherds Are A Noble Breed.

Everyone knows that a German Shepherd dog is a terrific guard dog and very smart. It has also been noted that German Shepherd dogs are a very noble canine. This was recently highlighted once again in the news.

Friday’s expressway incident gives us one more reason to admire this wonderful breed of dog. A female German Shepherd was hit by a car and lay bleeding and helpless when another German Shepherd came on the scene, weaving its way through the traffic to the side of the injured Shepherd. This modern-day hero was there to protect its fellow canine, but in this case,  the mother of the hero. Against all odds and traffic, this hero barked and lunged at anyone who tried to help, holding off help until the officials were finally able to get to the injured Shepherd and transport it to the Vet for treatment.

What is it in their make-up that causes them to put their own life in jeopardy? It is their built-in instinct that enabled the German shepherd hero to rush headlong into traffic and loyally stand guard, something missing even in some humans today. We have heard many unusual stories about German shepherds in the past and wonder at their loyal acts in protecting their owners. Some of us have actually experienced watching their loyalty grow as the German shepherd becomes used to his new family.

No one knows what motivates these animals to do these heroic deeds but one thing is sure to be the human emotions they pick up from loving and caring owners, as well as the inborn instinct and some say, in females, hormones. Another thing that enables a Shepherd to be so loyal is the ability they have to identify a threat to their owners. This comes from good [German Shepherd training| knowing how to train a German Shepherd] and TLC. Each dog is an individual as to what they are able to do in any given situation. Do not expect them to all be heroes. Just like anything else you get out of an animal what you put in it, especially with German Shepherds.
