German shepherds are often described as an all-purpose breed for a good reason. They were initially developed to serve as general farm dogs capable of herding, protection and livestock guardian duties. They're particularly known for their loyalty, bravery and athletic ability. Modern German shepherds are popular in police and military work, but they're also used for search and rescue, competitive nose work, agility and for their original purpose as all-around farm dogs.
