THE GERMAN SHEPHERD

The German Shepherd is the dog that comes to mind most frequently when thinking of a protection dog. The French police and military organizations recognize the reliability of the German Shepherd, and most frequently chose the breed to carry out their patrols and missions.

The German Shepherd is as intelligent as he is loving and courageous. This purebred dog remains very imposing, despite its weight, usually between 25 and 40 kg.

However, thanks to its thick and soft coat (which must be brushed very often), the German Shepherd has an impressive build, as well as a developed musculature that leaves no one indifferent.

Athletic and robust, the German Shepherd is also very affectionate by your side.
