Tributes to the German Shepherd Dog

This page has been created to illustrate my personal perception of THE TOTAL GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG.  It is my most sincere desire to thoroughly familiarize you with the many jobs that a German Shepherd can hold, and why breeding the Total GSD is so important to the future of the breed.  Therefore, I am currently in the process of writing articles and obtaining "first hand" information from owners of German Shepherds that have or have known, GERMAN SHEPHERDS ON THE JOB!  Please be patient, as this section is still under construction, but enjoy the articles that are already there.
