Ans: German Shepherds can be friendly dogs, but their temperament can vary depending on several factors such as breeding, socialization, and training. German Shepherds were originally bred as working dogs, so they tend to be loyal, intelligent, and protective of their families. However, like all dogs, German Shepherds can display aggression or fear if they are not adequately socialized and trained. Proper socialization, training, and early exposure to different people, animals, and environments can help ensure that your German Shepherd develops into a friendly, well-adjusted adult dog. It is also important to note that German Shepherds can be territorial and protective, which may manifest as aggression towards strangers or other animals. As such, it is essential to supervise your German Shepherd around unfamiliar people and animals, and ensure that they receive proper training and socialization to prevent any potential behavioral issues.
