I’ve owned a rotty before but never a german shepherd. I loved the rotty I had but she died of old age about 2 years ago so which one do you think I should get??? Could you give me the pros and cons of a german shepherd, i know all about the rott but feel free to tell me about the rotts too. Also im getting a girl rott or gs if that helps.
German Shepherds are a large-breed dog which generally are between 55 and 65 centimetres (22 and 26 in) at the withers and weigh between 22 and 40 kilograms (49 and 88 lb). The ideal height is 63 centimetres (25 in), according to Kennel Club standards.
German Shepherds can be a variety of colours, the most common of which are the tan/black and red/black varieties. Both varieties have black masks and black body markings which can range from a classic "saddle" to an over-all "blanket." Rarer colour variations include the sable, all-black, all-white, liver, and blue varieties.
German Shepherds sport a double coat. The outer coat, which is shed all year round, is close and dense with a thick undercoat. German Shepherds were bred specifically for their intelligence, a trait for which they are now renowned. They are considered to be the third most intelligent breed of dog, behind Border Collies and Poodles.
German Shepherds are highly active dogs, The breed is marked by a willingness to learn and an eagerness to have a purpose. Shepherds have a loyal nature and bond well with people they know. However, they can become over-protective of their family and territory, especially if not socialized correctly. An aloof personality makes them approachable, but not inclined to become immediate friends with strangers. German Shepherds are highly intelligent and obedient and some people think they require a "firm hand", but more recent research into training methods has shown they respond as well, if not better, to reward based training methods.
Hope this helps and good luck with your new dog x

German shepherds need a firm handed owner, if you can’t represent yourself as a leader to your new shepherd she’ll have many problems. German shepherds are naturally very protective over there owners so if you can’t give her a lot of contact with other people or dogs she could end up with aggression problems. Other wise I’d get a German Shepherd, there my favorite kind of dogs. They are very loyal, just make sure you can handle her when she gets big.
