One trait for which German Shepherd Dogs are well-known is their intelligence. In fact, according to scientists and dog experts, this breed is the third most intelligent breed of dog.
Also, 95% of the time they will obey the first command they are given. It is this intelligence that has made them so popular as working dogs.
The dog has even taken on the role of a national hero. German Shepherds were the search and rescue dogs crawling through the ruins of the World Trade Center after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, looking for survivors and comforting rescue workers and families.
