The German Shepherd is highly protective. It is smart, brave, and loyal, very obedient and easy to train. With its imposing build, large size, strong bite, fast speed, and wariness of strangers, plus a strong protective instinct, many countries train it as a border patrol, guard, detection, military, or search-and-rescue dog.
But the German Shepherd is somewhat aggressive, so it is banned in many cities.
