Something changes in a German Shepherd the moment a new baby comes home. No training. No instructions. They just seem to know. Watch how quickly they accept the job.

Never! they'll protect her with their lives

Exactly. A German Shepherd doesn’t need to be told—that baby is family, and now it’s under their protection.

It's the breed, they have been bred to shepherd. They know that a little kid or animal needs their protection and care. I was a little kid and my dad would have to have ahold of me around horses or I would just run into the corral to be around them. I went under and behind them. Never got hurt because they knew I was no threat and just a kid like a colt.

Exactly. Protecting the smallest member of the family is hardwired into a German Shepherd.

This kind of pure connection and loyalty is why dogs are truly family.

Absolutely. Once they accept you as family, that loyalty runs deeper than most people realize.

I love these dogs but never owned one. Might be my next dog. They are so beautiful, smart and loyal.

@Pixie1z Truly one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind.

@Ilegvm It’s not just Shepherds. All of our dogs have been very protective. Started with a yellow lab.😎🐾🇺🇸

Safe n sound

That baby has a four-legged security detail now.
