Revision as of 22:00, 1 September 2002 by Karen Johnson (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The German Shepherd or Alsatian dog is a very intelligent breed. They are often used as police dogs or guard dogs, and occasionally for service dogs or guide dogs, although not so often as labradors.
Alsatians have powerful jaws and strong teeth, and will attack on command if they have been trained to do so. In some areas Alsatians have a bad reputation as being very aggressive and inbred.
