Do GSDs make good family pets?
A well bred and properly trained German shepherd makes a wonderful family companion. They are naturally protective of their “pack”. As with any other breed, young children should never be left unattended with a puppy, however, if the children learn to respect the puppy as a living being, the puppy will be a wonderful companion for the children as they all grow up together. Your dog’s ranking in the “pack” should always be established as the bottom (Omega) member below humans.
