German Shepherds who have passive owners and or who's instincts are not being met can become timid, skittish and may be prone to fear biting and develop a guarding issue. They must be firmly trained in obedience from an early age.
A stable, well-adjusted, and trained dog is for the most part generally good with other pets and excellent with children in the family. This breed needs owners who are naturally authoritative over the dog in a calm, but firm, confident and consistent way. Problems arise when an owner allows the dog to believe he is pack leader over humans and or does not give the dog the mental and physical daily exercise they need to be stable. Aggression and attacks on people are due to poor handling and training. Socialized this breed well starting at puppyhood. Often used as police dogs, the German Shepherd has a very strong protective instinct, and are extremely loyal to their handler. They only bark when they feel it is necessary. This breed needs his people and should not be left isolated for long periods of time. German Shepherds love to be close to their families, but can be wary of strangers. They will not think twice about giving their lives for their human pack. Often used as working dogs, German Shepherds are courageous, keen, alert and fearless. White is not an acceptable color for the German Shepherd, however they are now being recognized as a separate breed, called the American White Shepherd. The coat most often comes in black with tan, sable or all black, but also can come in blue, liver and white, but those colors are considered a fault according to most standards. There are three varieties of the German Shepherd: rough-coated, long rough-coated, and the long-haired. The front legs and shoulders are muscular and the thighs are thick and sturdy. The bushy tail reaches almost to its hocks and hangs down when the dog is at rest. The ears of puppies under six months may droop slightly. The ears are wide at the base, pointed, upright, and turned forward. The dark eyes are almond-shaped, and never protruding. The teeth meet in a strong scissors bite.
The nose is most often black however, blue or liver still do sometimes occur, but is considered a fault and can not be shown. The head should be in proportion to its body, and the forehead a little rounded. The GSD has a sturdy, muscular, slightly elongated body with a light, solid bone structure. He also received all his necessary vaccinations.The German Shepherd Dog is well proportioned and very strong. He had no collar or microchip, but the humane society's veterinarian found him to be in good shape-minus a few ticks. "The dog was very easy and sweet," Clark said.Īfter the harrowing trip to the zoo, the 1-year-old dog was transported back to the humane society's Escondido campus. Zoo workers were able to remove the primates from the enclosure and allowed three humane officers, Clark included, to enter and secure a lead to the adventurous pup's neck. "He is incredibly lucky that he did not get any injuries from his encounters with the gorillas," San Diego Humane Society humane officer Samantha Clark said.

While it's hard to tell what the gorilla is thinking, there's no doubt the primate could have inflicted a huge amount of damage on the much smaller dog if he had gotten within arm's reach. One minute in, however, the pup takes off running again, which sends one of the gorillas, a silverback, back into chase mode. People shouted out to the dog in an attempt to get him to follow their voices to safety. The pup looked at the people across the crevasse separating the enclosure from the public as the gorillas were content to keep a close eye on him from a distance. About 20 seconds into the video, all the animals stop running.

While it's not immediately apparent what happened to one of the dogs, the second, an energetic German shepherd mix, entered the zoo's gorilla habitat-directly into potential danger. This story begins on Sunday when the San Diego Zoo Safari Park reported two loose dogs within the park grounds. After some casual trespassing and a close encounter with a gorilla, a San Diego pupper is now looking for a forever home that can cater to his sense of adventure.
