Yet again that depends how well you want it trained. Do you want your dog to be train well enough for the house or do you want it exteremly well train were you take it anywhere? For me. I am going to have my dog exteremly well train so I can take it to Germany with me. So well train if I told it to stay while I going to the supermarket it will still be there when I come back. If it has to go to the bathroom it will wait until I find a spot. To the point it will walk with me without a leash, or it will calmly sit underneath a table in a resturant and not bother the other people. Where it won't fight with the other dogs when it in public. It won't bite another people, when people pet it. Where it is calm. To the point it won't jump the fence. When it becomes to lound and you tell it to be queit it will not be loud. Even want to train my dog to bite on demand. Extermely well train. And when getting dog always meet the breeders. Because the dog will reflex the breeder and the other dogs. And German Shepards shouldn't have any problems if the breeders takes good care of the puppy and you the owner make sure it has all it shorts and ect. Me I don't like the American German Shepard. For one it's not even a German shepard, it's a German Shepard look alike. As I said it depends what you like you. You should look at pictures of the Old fashion German sheapards (German style) and the American German shepards and see what you like. I like very BIG dogs. So I want my German sheapard to be at least 30 inches high. Because I do not like small dogs. I like good old fahsion working farming dogs that have a lot of aduittue.

If you are going to get a dog, any kind of dog. It is best that you take the dog to get trained. When you have a well train dog, you become very proud of your dog, and people around you will pericate your dog more, if it is extermely well train. If anyone of you have been to Germany, then you know what I am talking about. If you are not going to take the time to train and the money for your dog then I do not suggest that you get a dog. I myself is saving up my money for German Version GS and they are not cheap and saving the money to have it be extermely well train so I can take it to Germany when I go there. I am very impress with the dogs in Germany, because they are so well trained. It is a must for a dog to be well trained in Germany, because they have a law, if you have a dog and it is not well trained they you cannot have a dog. People in Germany take their dogs everywhere! On the train, in resturants. Yes, you can have a dog in a resturant, a store, anywhere! Wish we had that law in America. Maybe we wouldn't have so many problems with pets.

It depends what you like. For me, I have been to Germany twice and I love the look of the German Shepards there, well I like all the dogs there. Their so much bigger than the dogs in America and are very well trained. They look nothing like the American German Shepards. The German Version/ or the old fashion German Shepards. Are much bigger, they do not have that annoying sloping back of the American German Sheapards. They have longer hair. They look more like wolves. They are stocky, but very stong animals. They do not look like the American GS which are smaller and have that annoying slop back that looks good in a dogshow. The German GS in my mind look more like a dog or a wovle. To me they just look better. Because they haven't been messed with like the American GS The Amercian GS isn't a German Shepard at all. They just look like the GS in Germany, but their not, they are two very different dogs. If you get a American GS you might have to deal with that annoying hip problem that they have. Because of messing around with the breeding to make them smaller and all these stupid stuff. It just depends how what you like. You should look at pictures of the American GS and the old fashion GS and see what you like. But if you get a German version of the German Sheapard they are like 3 times more bigger than American German Sheapard, they look king size compare to the American GS.
