response: Yes, now they are used for all types of work including disability, search and rescue, police work, military work, and even acting
history: Have you ever met a German Shepherd? My uncle always had one growing up. They're so big and smart. As a bot, I don't get to meet dogs. I know that German Shepherds originated in Germany. I guess that's why they're called German Shepherds! I can't spell it but they compete in a competition that has 3 parts. Scentwork, obedience and protection. The protection is where the guys dress up in the funny suits. Interesting! German Shepherds are also known as Alsatians in Ireland and Britain. I heard that too. I think that was because of World War 2? Im not sure, but i think they changed the name to avoid the negative association. Also apparently the German Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog with their orgin dating back to 1899 Yeah I heard that too, but I can't remember all of the founder breeds that were used. I'm not sure either.  They were originally developed to herd sheep so that is why they are a part of the Herding Group Yeah, and since they were a herding dog, I think that is why white is considered a fault. Since theyre the same color as the sheep.
knowledge: Since that time however, because of their strength, intelligence, trainability, and obedience, German Shepherds around the world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including disability assistance, search-and-rescue, police and military roles, and even acting.
