German Shepherd Dogs love strenuous activity, preferably combined with training of some kind, for these dogs are very intelligent and crave a good challenge.

Please remember the GSD breed was developed for service as a herding and general purpose working animal and the desire to "work" or do something is genetic and is stronger in some GSDs than in others.

If you are not able to provide the training and exercise this breed requires, there are many other breeds, which would be more appropriate.
