GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG |
 |
APPEARANCE
The first
impression of a good German Shepherd Dog is that of a strong, agile,
well muscled animal, alert and full of life. It is well balanced, with
harmonious development of the forequarter and hindquarter. The dog is
longer than tall, deep-bodied, and presents an outline of smooth curves
rather than angles. It looks substantial and not spindly, giving the
impression, both at rest and in motion, of muscular fitness and
nimbleness without any look of clumsiness or soft living. The ideal dog
is stamped with a look of quality and nobility--difficult to define, but
unmistakable when present. Secondary sex characteristics are strongly
marked, and every animal gives a definite impression of masculinity or
femininity, according to its sex.
Has weather - resistant coat.
TEMPERAMENT

nerve, loyal, self-assured, courageous and tractable. Never nervous,
over-aggressive or shy. The breed has a distinct personality marked by

indiscriminate friendships.

resilient and tireless with keen scenting ability.
