It is hailed as the world's leading police, guard and military dog, however, this dependable breed is more than its 9-to-5 job. Consistently one of the United States' most popular breeds, the German Shepherd is also a loving family companion. The fame associated with Rin-Tin-Tin and Strongheart two members of the breed who became movie stars shot the popularity of the breed sky-high. Energetic and fun-loving, the breed is very fond of children.
