German Shepherds are loved all around the world. This popularity means people love hearing and learning German Shepherd facts!
#1 The German Shepherd is one of the most popular dogs in the USA – in fact it ranks number 2 out of 193 breeds recognized by the AKC.
#2 The GSD is one of the only breeds of dogs we’ve found with a global association dedicated to them!
#3 Von Stephanitz is the founding father of the GSD breed.
#4 The good Shepherd dog knows his master almost better than himself and must wonder indeed at the lack of the reverse.
#5 In fact, of only 3 dogs on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, 2 of these are German Shepherds (the other is Lassie).
#6 German Shepherds were originally used as working dogs for herding sheep.
