Personality
The breed has a distinct personality marked by direct and fearless, but not hostile, expression, self-confidence and a certain aloofness that does not lend itself to immediate and indiscriminate friendships. It is poised but when the occassion demands eager and alert; both fit andwilling to serve in its capacity, as companion, blind leader, guard dog, herding dog or guardian whichever the situation may demand.
Grooming Requirements
The German shepherd is generally a heavy shedder and therefore needs to be brushed  regularly - daily whenever possible. Because they can be prone to eczema, regular bathing should be avoided instead you should opt for very occassional baths and the use of a suitable dry shampoo as a more regular cleaning/freshning tool.
