I have 3 big beautiful Shepherds! They are my friends and close companions...not just pets. In my opinion GS are the best and smartest breed. Loving, loyal, fearless protectors. They give their love unconditionally and don't seem to mind if I'm having a bad hair day or I'm wearing mis-matched socks! Always overjoyed to see me return home from an outing. Have often said, if only I could find me a man who is this happy to see me !!!!
