I’m a German Shepherd, I come in different forms.
Sable, Black, and Black and Tan are what most would call the norms.
My hair is long or could be short or even plush as well.
But one thing is for certain, I’m the shedding dog from hell.
Now I am known as loyal, brave, and sharp of mind.
I guard, I search and track you, and guide you if you’re blind.
I warn when there is danger if there’s strangers at the door
But in truth I’d rather fool around and goof upon the floor.
I am strong willed, I like routine, but I crave a loving hand
I’ll do what I think must be done, I need lines drawn in the sand.
I need a loving leader who will lead and take control.
For if they’re not I’ll step up and I will take that role.
Show that you have confidence and I’ll stay easy by your side.
But if you don’t, I can become, Satan or his bride.
These things can scare off people who don’t understand my breed.
But treat me right and train me well, then I’m every dog you’ll need.
I am a German Shepherd, I just want you to love me.
Do just this and you will have the best dog there can be.
