History
Rin Tin Tin was
an American Red
Cross dog during
World War I. Rin Tin Tin
appeared in 26 films for
Warner Brothers and
received 10,000 fan
letters weekly.
German Shepherds have
a big history. They are a breed
since 1899, when Max Emil
Friedrich von Stephanitz went to
a herding-dog show.
He saw a
German Shepherd that had all the features that
owners valued in a breed.
Did you know that the first guard sheep
dogs were guarding in the german countryside?
Also in the beginning any dog that was used to
guard animal were called a german shepherd.
There were no rules how a dog should look or
act.
German Shepherds started to be famous
when in 1906 a new movie came out. It was
“Rin TIn Tin”. This movie or actually a series
came out every Thursday and the original came in the U.S. This series was
about a German Shepherd and his owner that is a little child.
Now it is really old, but
maybe you still can

Job
The
first German
shepherds were
trained for police
work around 1900
in Ghent,
Belgium.
As you already know German
shepherds are great pets, but also they
are really hard workers. They have a lot
of jobs that they are good at and can
handle them.
When World War II started shepherds were used in
military. They rescued soldiers,
looked for mines and carried
food or drugs.
German
shepherds rescued soldiers like
this: They first sniffed around to
find any alive people or dead
bodies. Then they bark for the
warriors to know it is safe and
can look on. When they find
their folks German shepherds
will bark again to let know the
warriors that he found what he was asked. The warriors will
then take some medicine from the dog's vest.
German
shepherds are often used as police.
You have probably seen German shepherds guiding the
blind or Helping people with disabilities, live more
independent. They are great dogs.
Developed over countries from sheep herding and farmdog stock, the German shepherds has been trained as a
police dog, as a carrier of messages, as a patrol dog in war
and as a leader of blind. Sheep herding, if you wonder, is
when a master finds his dog and asks for him to look over the
dogs. A german shepherd makes a invisible fence in his mind,
to know where the sheep's can’t go. He watches over them to
not get in trouble, like for an example a wolf comes and might
want to eat dinner and eats a sheep. That is where a dog’s
instinct comes. He knows when to attack or just “leave it”.
Now you might know more about sheep herding!

Training
German shepherds

German shepherds need plenty of
training. You can start training your
pet when it is a puppy. You should
teach your dog basic commands,
like: sit, lay down and come when
called. It will help your dog to behave
good.
It is important, when you are
training your puppy, to be consistent.
Praise your German shepherd when it
does something you like. Ignore your dog
when it does something you don’t like, or
gently show him/her the right thing. It is also important not
to threaten and hit your helpless dog.
As I already mentioned, you should teach your dog
some basic commands. You could also teach your dog
some more advanced tricks or games. You can go
beyond the basics with your smart new pet!
Did you know that German shepherds are known for their
wolflike looks? These dogs are also large and solid, that
helps them in many different
activities.
German shepherds are confident
and brave dogs. This leads many
people to pick the strong build
German shepherd to protect their
families. This also leads people to
use them in police and military.
German shepherds also tend to
stay calm even when there is a lot
of going on. This features helps
them do many jobs well.

Behavior

our forehead
You are probably wondering if
German shepherds are aggressive.
That’s why some people think that
shepherds are unfriendly dogs, but that’s not
true. This dog is protective of it’s family and
always cautious of strangers. However if
German shepherds have been socialized the
right way they should let strangers come up to
them without becoming aggressive. German
shepherds are very loyal and trust their owner’s commands. It is
important to treat your puppy with respect and kindness.
The German shepherds need lots of exercise. They are
known for being quick and full of energy. They will be always ready
run outside and be free. It is important for you to be also ready to
play with your dog. And remember
don’t always blame the responsible of
dog on your parents. All of the kids I
know said: “Mom, dad can we get a
dog? I will take care of it. I promise!”
and two weeks later mom takes out
the dog for a walk every day, and dad
f e e d s t h e d o g . TA K E T H E
RESPONSIBLE!!!!!!!
The German shepherds have
good eyes, that helps them well at
working and as a protective family
pet. Even when he/she rest they can
quickly respond to commands.
Shepherds is the right dog for many people. Families respect their
d o g s f o r t h e i r l o y a l t y,
intelligence and
t r a i n a b i l i t y. T h e s e
dogs can make good
Puppies are

show your German
shepherd good

Take Care!
Taking care for your pet is the
most important thing. Giving it
healthy food is just one part of a
dog’s care. German shepherds need regular brushing,
exercise and training. They may also enjoy treats, but too many snacks can be
unhealthy for your pet.
Giving your German shepherd identification tags and a collar lets other
people know this dog is your. Today microchipping also helps identify dogs that get
lost. Ask your veterinarian about other ways you can help your German shepherd live
a long healthy life.
DO you think you are ready to own a dog? That is a big job. As I said you have to
brush a German shepherd daily, but also go out three times a day and have a wlad.
It is better ti stay with the puppy for the first year so he will get used to the
housemates. Also it it is important to have a big house and a
garden so your dog will have place to play. Don’t forget to bo
buy a lot of toys for your puppy. Your pet will live to pull a rope
with you, or catch a ball that you throw. You will has good
memories that you can tell your kids!
Don’t be surprised if your shoes are
chewed up. Especially puppies love
chewing your things! I propose you to
hide things from your German
shepherd. If you wonder a dog house will be good for a older
dog but a dog couch would be better for a puppy.
List Of things you can buy:
• Shampoo
• Dog house
• Dog couch
• Collar
• Leash
• A lot of TOYS!!!
• Food
• Water
• Hair brush
• Poop bags
