Say Hello to Yogi
German Shepherd Dog, 9 years old
My favourite thing about Yogi is...
Yogi is amazingly caring with children and babies. He is a very loving obedient dog who has never really been naughty except he used to dig up my plants. He is an excellent guard dog. German shepherds are incredibly loyal and loving but they do need training.
The biggest challenge with Yogi is...
The hair as he is longhaired and white; he also likes to bark at everything when he is out in the car.
The most surprising thing about owning a German Shepherd Dog is...
How gentle they can be and that they don't need as much exercise as people think.
What I wish I’d known about German Shepherd Dogs is...
How important socialising from as soon as possible is necessary.
Did you know?
German Shepherd Dogs have had many jobs, one of the least well known however was as guide dogs for the blind, and the GSD was preferred as their height made them very suitable for blinded ex-military men, who would have found the Labradors and Golden Retrievers (and their mixes) too short!
