About The German Shepherd Breed
Useful Information For Owners of German Shepherd Dogs
This is a new section of the website and we will be adding to it on an ongoing basis.
The aim of this section is to be a useful resource for both new and existing owners.
We want to help people decide whether a GSD is for them and to provide useful information across a wide range of subjects.
We aim to give a little bit of an insight into the development of the breed with brief information about the history and origins of the German Shepherd Dog as well as breed standards.
We hope to offer you good advice on how to look after your GSD and a brief look at some of the common health problems with useful links to other resources that can provide relevant information. If there are any particular subjects that you would like to see included then please drop us a line with your suggestions.
