3. German Shepherd – Intelligent and Fearless
German Shepherds are one of the most popular dog breeds in the world, known for their intelligence, versatility, and courage.
Commonly used in police and military work, these dogs are highly trainable and protective of their families.
However, their protective instincts can lead to aggression toward strangers or other animals if they are not well-socialized from a young age.
German Shepherds are strong, active dogs that require regular mental and physical stimulation.
