German Shepard - Navo

• The breed's officially recognized name is German Shepherd Dog in the English language, sometimes abbreviated as "GSD", and was also formerly known as the Alsatian and Alsatian Wolf Dog in Britain.
• The German Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899.
• Since that time, however, because of their strength, intelligence, train ability and obedience, German Shepherds around the world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including search-and-rescue, police and military roles and even acting.
• The German Shepherd is the second-most popular breed of dog in the United States and fourth-most popular in the United Kingdom.
• German Shepherds were bred specifically for their intelligence, a trait for which they are now famous. In the book The Intelligence of Dogs, author Stanley Coren ranked the breed third for intelligence, behind Border Collies and Poodles.
