Greater Hard Working Dogs In Black German Shepherd

By Sammy Neblett


Black German Shepherds have a sleek, muscular and elegant appearance. Their black color is extremely rare, and is the result of a regressive gene in both the male and female parent. Their dark appearance, along with physical agility, and protection instinct, make them perfect guard dogs. They are loyal and devoted family members, with a need to be socialized so not to be too protective of their families.

They do not automatically befriend people they don't know. They are inquisitive, and have a want to please and may become a bit sad if they cannot. They appreciate having a purpose and benefit from working.

German Shepherds were originally bred in Germany with sheep herding and protecting in mind. With their superior intelligence, advanced sense of smell, guarding mentality they were perfect for it. Today shepherds are valued family pets, are highly loyal, and fantastic in home protection.

German Shepherds do have a need to be socialized, and if owners leave this dog unattended too often, without human interaction, and companionship, or fail to take the leadership role in training the animal, aggression may be the result. German Shepherds are not typically known for aggression. All dogs need to be socialized and trained, and shepherds almost more than any other breed are highly trainable.

Their ability toward scent is also a valued characteristic of this animal. This makes it a great selection for police and military use. These dogs work as police partners in search and rescue. Shepherds also are invaluable in drug task teams.

Some investigators, searching for bodies, or drugs, or even missing criminals, use trusted Shepherds instead of men as their investigative partners to complete the job. They claim their heightened sense of smell, and intelligent ability to follow orders on the first command, 95% of the time, gives police an advantage in solving crimes. German shepherds have been responsible for locating missing persons, finding bodies, and locating large amounts of drugs, which led to the arrest of many people.

They have also been known to locate the elderly who have wandered from home, children lost in parks, lost hikers and hunters. They have also found victims of avalanches, floods, earthquakes, plane crashes, train wrecks, and many other disasters. They are used for these purposes throughout the world.

They have the ability to track people in buildings, buried in the ground, floating on and underneath the water, in buildings, in forest and other places. This is because dogs can scent the cells in human skin. Using one dog in dangerous and life-threatening situations is the same as using 20-30 men because of their keen sense of smell and their inability to give up. This is part of what makes this breed so beneficial.

During missions at 9/11 at ground zero Shepherds were used. They were also used as envoy dogs during World War II. They have been utilized in many important missions related to catastrophes.

Shepherds, with their guiding abilities are great companion and comrade to being the eyes and ears for those with disabilities. A quick animal, with speedy instincts and fast thinking ability, this animal serves as a guide to the blind and hearing impaired. They have high energy, and an advanced affinity for work, making them a great match for those with physical impairments. Those using these dogs can be assured of getting where they need with speed and safety. They are usually trained by charitable organizations and given to those who desire to adopt a guide shepherd.

Shepherds are also used to sometimes used as prey dogs, to assist their hunting partners in tracking bear or birds. Using dogs for tracking animals is generally regulated state to state, and not states allow dogs to track all animals. They have been used to track duck, deer, and raccoons.

What differentiates the Black German Shepherd from their brown or white counterparts is they are larger than the regular German Shepherd and have a much straighter back. They also don't "cringe." Cringing is common to regular German Shepherds. The black shepherd also is much closer in breeding and look to traditional shepherds of Germany.
