A big welcome to these two, Layla & Timber! They’re both German Shepherds (GSD), Leila is 5 years old and Timber is 2 years old.

______________________ 7 German Shepherd Dogs Fun Facts:

#1 – Why it’s called the GSD?

The German Shepherd Dog is one of the few breeds who official name includes the word “dog.” Why? So people knew when you were talking about a German shepherd human, who tends the livestock, or the dog helping him.

#2 – Mr. Popularity

The GSD is the second most registered dog in the United States. This is most likely due impart to the breeds diversity – they are popular as family, guard, performance, show, police, military, and service dogs. There isn’t much this dog can’t do.

#3 – War Dog

Unlike the doxie who was ridiculed for being German, WWI helped to increase the GSD popularity in the United States. American Soldiers saw what the dogs were capable of while fighting the Germans and many brought dogs back with them to the states.

#4 – Strongheart

Before there was Rin-Tin-Tin, there was Strongheart. He was one of the earliest canine stars and even has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He starred in six movies. (www.imdb.com)

#5 – First Guide Dog

In 1929, Mrs. Harrison Eustis founds “The Seeing Eye” to train GSD dogs for use as guide dogs for the blind. Morris Frank was a blind man reading about the WWI veterans who were blinded and using these amazing dogs as guides. He contacted Eustis was already working with GSDs in Switzerland, and the rest is history.  (www.seeingeye.org)

#6 – The Thirteen Club

The German Shepherd Club of America has a club for GSDs that are twelve years of age or older. It’s a fun way to recognize your super senior. (www.gsdca.org)

#7 – Colors

While many people think the GSD only comes in the familiar black & tan, black, or white, the AKC actually recognizes eleven colors—the ones mention about as well as: bi-color, black, black & cream, black & red, black & silver, blue, gray, liver and sable. (www.akc.org)
