Working line German Shepherds are bred for drive, intelligence, and versatility. Unlike show-line Shepherds, which focus more on physical appearance, working lines excel in tasks like:
- Protection and guard work
- Police and military service
- Search and rescue
- High-level obedience and sport
These dogs are known for their strong nerves, excellent health, and unmatched work ethic. They thrive with active owners who appreciate their boundless energy and sharp intelligence.
