Who can blame you for wanting a German shepherd as your lifelong "best friend" and protector? Not so fast! While it's true that the German shepherd is a popular, highly valued and desirable canine companion; the breed, much like all breeds, is not a perfect fit for every person, setting, lifestyle or family situation.

In the second chapter, Jason examines the time, money, energy-level, and lifestyle required to meet the needs of a German shepherd so that both the dog and its human companion aren't miserable because of a failure to provide proper food, shelter, exercise, and companionship. To assist in selecting your first German shepherd, Jason Biden compares and contrasts American versus German bloodlines; male versus female: a puppy versus an adult dog; various coat types and colors; and breeder versus rescue adoption. Two must-read chapters concern how to select a breeder and common health problems experienced by the breed. Don't buy a German shepherd without reading those chapters.
