Owning a German Shepherd isn’t really the same as being an owner of another dog breed. German Shepherds are one of the most distinguishable breeds and are so intelligent and obedient that they can be trained as service dogs.

Which is why they are such a desirable breed. Wouldn’t want a dog that is handsome, smart, and listens to everything you say? But there are certain things that only owners of this breed know. You’d understand if you were German Shepherd owner.

Here’s what we mean:

1) In Addition to Your Children’s College Tuition, You’ll Also Have to Save Up For Dog Training Sessions Which Could Cost Just As Much

They are so smart and can be taught a heck of a lot so you could throw down some serious dough while helping them to reach their full potential.

2) You Have to Be Real Specific When Referring to Your Dog

It’s mandatory to explain to people that you’re talking about a breed of dog rather than a shepherd that lives in Germany.

3) You’ll Have to Grab Your Packages at the End of the Gate and You Can Forget About Girl Scouts Selling Cookies at Your House

Even though you continually tell everyone how friendly your sweet dog is, they still refuse to get anywhere near your front door and try to avoid your lawn at all costs.
